Did Jesus ever live? Was he the Messiah as Christianity has
claimed? And what are the true foundations of the Christian
religion? These are the fundamental questions posed by ex-priest
Joseph McCabe (1867-1955), a prodigious scholar, translator, and
lecturer, who tirelessly promoted scientific inquiry, skepticism,
and anticlericalism in works that were exhaustively researched yet
accessible to the general reader. In these three lively,
informative, and combative essays, McCabe takes us through the
ancient Mediterranean world to show how Christianity appropriated
the ceremonies and myths of paganism to elaborate the Resurrection
story.McCabe cogently demonstrates that the Jesus of the gospels is
not historical at all but a curious amalgam built up after his
death. The gospels themselves are completely unreliable as
biographies of Jesus. Critically examining all the ancient sources,
McCabe reveals a series of shameless distortions by Christian
apologists who, he argues, destroyed classical civilization and
inaugurated the Dark Ages.
