Book Reviews of The Jesus Papers: Exposing the Greatest Cover-Up in History
Book Review: Absolutely Ridiculous
Summary: 1 Stars
To begin with, only a few chapters of this book even deal with the so-called crucifixion controversy. A large portion of this book deals with Baigent's own experiences crawling around caves and chapters literally go by without any mention or reference whatsoever to Jesus.
Secondly, Baigent's thesis is absurd. First, he states that he doubts that Jesus ever existed, then goes on to say that a replacement Jesus was crucified, then proposes that Jesus survived the crucifixion. His arguments are conflicting and convoluted, referencing documents he cannot produce or even prove exist to support his claims. Many of his arguments are centered around the Gospels, which he himself goes to great lengths to discredit.
He states that the many conspiracies of the Church are Vatican cover-ups, citing their own selfish reasons for keeping such a secret. Thus, he argues, the Vatican is biased and cannot be trusted. Yet, he ignores his own motives for writing this book and "uncovering" these conspiracies...fame and fortune
