Book Reviews of The Jesus Puzzle: Did Christianity Begin with a Mythical Christ? Challenging the Existence of an Historical Jesus
Book Review: A good start...
Summary: 4 Stars
Earl Doherty has produced a very refreshing look at the early origins of Christianity, and provides some very compelling arguments for his thesis. There is, of course, little point reading this book if one is convinced that in the existance of an historical Jesus of Nazareth, and are unwilling to even entertain the alternative. On the other hand, the effect of this book on a self-confessed Christian with a more open can be a fatal blow to ones faith. I must admit, however, that it was not the book per se that convinced me that this thesis is compatible with the known evidence, but more the further discussions found on the author's website. This book gives a good basis for the argument, but I hope that Mr Doherty can be persuaded to produce an extended second edition sometime soon.
