About this listen

This explosive work of history unearths clues that finally demonstrate the truth about one of the world's great religions: that it was born out of the conflict between the Romans and messianic Jews who fought a bitter war with each other during the first century. The Romans employed a tactic they routinely used to conquer and absorb other nations: they grafted their imperial rule onto the religion of the conquered. After 30 years of research, authors James S. Valliant and C.W. Fahy present irrefutable archaeological and textual evidence that proves Christianity was created by Roman Caesars in this book that breaks new ground in Christian scholarship and is destined to change the way the world looks at ancient religions forever.

Inherited from a long-past era of tyranny, war and deliberate religious fraud, could Christianity have been created for an entirely different purpose than we have been lead to believe? Praised by scholars like Dead Sea Scrolls translator Robert Eisenman (James the Brother of Jesus), this exhaustive synthesis of historical detective work integrates all of the ancient sources about the earliest Christians and reveals new archaeological evidence for the first time. And, despite the fable presented in current best sellers like Bill O'Reilly's Killing Jesus, the evidence presented in Creating Christ is irrefutable: Christianity was invented by Roman Emperors.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

debunking evangelicals

Great book, can see it triggering Christians as it looks at the actual history rather than supernatural nonsense.

Very Interesting.

Doesn't work 100% as an audiobook as there's quite a bit of material in the pdf to view, but... wowsere this is interesting. I've listened twice through and will very probably return to it again in the future.

So Dreary

I have just finished chapter 4 which just goes round and around in circles
talking about ancient symbols which were used by pretty much everybody
apparently.

I have no idea what conclusion I should draw from this chapter other than
everybody were using everybody else's symbols??.

I may try to get through chapter 5 and attempt to find some meaning in all this droning.
That's if I can resurrect my will to live.

(that's chapter 4 as displayed in audible) -----------------------------------------------------------------

OK, I fought on till the end, its an interesting theory but not conclusively
proven it this book.

The book begins with the 'discovery' of a roman coin with Christian symbols
and it is stated as being the final proof of this theory. Chapter 4 , as well
as being mind numbingly boring pretty much debunks that possibility by
pointing out that these symbols or derivatives thereof were used throughout
the ancient world.

This book really didn't have to be this long. Its overstated and often off topic
and stating that it took 30 years to produce does not prove its authenticity.
