Ceasar’s Messiah by Joseph Atwill

According to Atwill, the Gospels are not accounts of the ministry of a historical Jewish Jesus compiled by his followers sixty years after his death. They are texts deliberately created to trick Messianic Jews into worshiping the Roman Emperor ‘in disguise’. The essence of Atwill’s discovery is that the majority of the key events in the life of Jesus are in fact satirical: each is an elegant literary play on a military battle in which the Jewish armies had been defeated by the Romans. This is an extraordinary claim-but supported by all the necessary evidence.

Of course, this theory will never get any real attention. No one will mention it on the talk shows. Joseph Atwill won’t appear on Leno’s or Letterman’s shows. We who are not Christian will blog about it, and share it widely. And no one else will ever hear of it, or if they do, they will discount it out of hand.
