    Jesus the Terrorist



  • Jesus the Terrorist

  • This is the shocking truth:

    Jesus was a zealot who wanted to be King of Israel.

    The apostles and disciples were members of his family, by blood and by marriage, and they went on to wage a war against Rome.

    Far from 'converting', Saul - the false apostle - remained malicious and vindictive to the end.

    Saul started the lie that 'the Jews' killed Jesus, while he himself helped to kill Jesus' brother James.

    Saul invented Christianity, borrowing the rituals of a pagan religion, Mithraism.

    The gospels are a deliberately scrambled version of Jewish zealot propaganda with characters, who were Jewish warriors, stolen and subverted by Christian writers.

  • Endorsements:

    Cresswell develops the theme of name plays and inversions used by early Christian authors to transform a Jewish messianic resistance movement into a religious cult obedient to Rome. He shows how the character of zealots and sicarii assassins was altered and how one of the movement's messiahs, Jesus, was converted into a resurrected pagan god.

    This book brings to life revolutionary ideas about the origins of Christianity. It's gripping, fascinating, hard to put down.

    A comparison of the images of Jesus Christ as nurtured by religious organisations with the evidence available from His times.
