Was Jesus Dead When Taken Down From The Cross

Myths We Live By: From the Life and Times of Jesus and Paul By Andrew C. Delos, a recent BookSurge publication, is a provocative, groundbreaking non-religious biography of Jesus and Paul.

Charleston, South Carolina, (PRWEB) March 15, 2006 -- This unique biography opens a new pathway to our understanding of the lives of Jesus and Paul and to the origins of Christianity. Although the author relies extensively on the New Testament (in the original Greek), he is writing as a historian, not as a theologian.

As the story in the book unfolds, the author presents provocative findings such as:

•    Jesus was not born in Bethlehem

•    St. Peter was never in Rome

•    It was St. Paul who turned Jesus into the “Son of God”

•    Jesus was never a “Christian” as we understand the term today

The evidence, amply documented, is even more compelling because it comes from the ancient sources. Written in an engaging narrative, this book is hard to put down. See the Amazon.com page for raving reviews.
