Summary

What if everything you think you know about Jesus is wrong? In The Jesus Papers, Michael Baigent probes into the truth about Jesus's life and crucifixion.

As a religious historian, Baigent explores the religious and political climate in which Jesus was born and raised, and the strife within the different factions of the Jewish Zealot movement. He chronicles the migrations of Jesus's family, his subsequent exposure to other cultures and the events, teachings, and influences that were most likely to have shaped Jesus's early years. Baigent also uncovers the inconsistencies and biases in the accounts of the major historians of Jesus's time, revealing their enduring influence in forming our most common conceptions of Jesus.

Baigent provides a detailed account of his groundbreaking discoveries. The evidence he uncovers leads him to make shocking new assertions that threaten the conventional account of Jesus's life and death and shake the very foundation of Western thought. Ultimately, his investigation raises the hope that we may gain a new understanding of Jesus.

I read The Holy Blood The Holy Grail in the 80's and was blown away by the detail and intrigue ,a very engrossing read. And from its research it exposed foundations for authors like Dan Brown (De Vinci Code)

When i saw the Jesus papers by Baigent i had to have it , again another great endeavor by the author.

I have learnt a lot of interesting facts and plausible theories about the times before, during, and after the man known as Jesus. And of course To listen to Baigen'ts narration gave it an added bonus

As a lapsed Catholic who for many years has believed the man Jesus was far removed from the Church doctrine I grew up with and my own gnawing questions, I could not put this down.
Highly recommend this book, but listen with an open mind.

Brilliant analysis and inferences surrounding events that shaped the Christian doctrinal practices today. It’s telling how much of the truth had been withheld to protect propagated teachings about divinity, a key aspect of what followers of Christ have come to believe about their Religion.

Excellent Breakdown of Historical Events

In case you havn't read the Da Vinci Code or if you have and think it good or bad, read this and hear the real investigation. A subject that would rock the religious powers that be to the core should they see fit to take the blinkers off.
This didn't make me question my faith, in fact it strengthened it because Jesus became more real. What it did do though was make me aware of just how underhand the church has been. Fasinating, eye opening and sure to cause a stir.

Bring it on Dan Brown
