Inventing Jesus; History's Greatest Lie — Anthony Bailey

What if the man who changed the world… never existed at all? Inventing Jesus: History's Greatest Lie rips apart 2,000 years of tradition, exposing the silence of history, the fabrication of the Gospels, and the myth-making machinery that built a god out of nothing. Believe it, doubt it, or burn it—but you won't forget it.History tells us Jesus walked the dusty roads of Galilee. Churches tell us he died for our sins. Billions believe it without question. But what if the man never existed? What if the greatest story ever told… was never a story at all?From the deafening absence of Jesus in the historical record to the crafted illusions of the Gospels, this book rips away the gold leaf of sacred tradition and exposes the bare wood beneath. Step inside the marketplace of ancient gods, where dying-and-rising saviors were as common as the coins that bought their temples. Follow the trail of evidence outside the Bible—and watch it crumble.Here, belief is not just faith. It's a social force, a political weapon, and a global brand. The 21st-century Jesus is a chameleon—one moment the face of peace, the next the rallying cry for war. In the clash between Christianity and Islam, in the desperate human need to crown gods over our own lives, the figure of Jesus becomes both shield and sword.This is the book that dares to ask the question history's gatekeepers hope you'll never consider: What if we invented him?It's a reckoning, a challenge, and a dare. Believe it, doubt it, or burn it—but you will not forget it.
