Title: Condensed and to the point..
Review: Helms wastes no words in this short but thought provoking book that details the motives and literary devices of the gospel writers. With clarity of purpose and dead accurate analysis, Helms presents an overwhelming argument as to the fabrication of much of the gospels and why the writers went to the fictive extent they did to boster their case of Jesus' divinity. Helms also successfully shows how the gospels were "stitched" (one upon the other) into a literary case for Jesus' messiahship by their use of old testament writings in the septuagint (LXX), thus guaranteeing a self fulfilling prophesy.For those wanting an expanded companion to this book, I would recommend Robert Funk's "Honest To Jesus", or Burton Mack's excellent "Who Wrote the New Testament?". Both of these books essentially back up Helms conclusions with excellent scholarship and insight.
