Publisher's Synopsis
Jesus was a real person, right? You might be surprised at what data science has to say. Christ Before Jesus presents a first-of-its-kind analysis using proven, peer-reviewed mathematics and software which reveals a second-century origin for the books of the New Testament.
This book reveals that:
- The first reference to Jesus might not come until almost 100 years after his supposed death around the year 30
- The Gospels discuss events that took place in the 130s
- Some of Paul's letters mention people and books from the 140s and later
- There is evidence the first Christians did not believe in a historical Jesus
- Some early Christians believed Christianity started decades before when Jesus supposedly lived
- And more!
No conspiracies, no ancient riddles, no secret knowledge, just logic and investigation. Follow researchers Matthew Britt and Jaaron Wingo as they examine the evidence for a historical Jesus, Paul, and other New Testament figures, using computerized stylometric analysis to uncover the second-century origins of the Christian religion. Along the way, you'll even learn how to run these tests yourself and crack the cold case that is Jesus' existence using cutting-edge methods.
At the intersection of science, history, and religion is the truth. Buy Christ Before Jesus now and find out what modern historical and scientific techniques can tell us about early Christianity!
