Title: Interesting, but seriously flawed
Review: I am surprised by all the glowing reviews here. Although it is true that today it is pretty much only fundamentalists who take the gospels as literal history, there's no reason at all to think they were the products of a Roman conspiracy. Don't waste your time on this book. If you want to learn about the origins of Christianity, and the question of the historicity of Jesus Christ, there are far better books available here on Amazon, such asIncredible Shrinking Son of Man: How Reliable Is the Gospel Tradition?orJesus: Neither God Nor Man - The Case for a Mythical Jesus, both of which are excellent. Don't take my word for it - you can read Robert M. Price's review of Atwill's book here: [...] [search for "Joseph Atwill's, Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus Ulysses Press, 2005 Reviewed by Robert M. Price" if link does not work or is removed].
