Christ's Ventriloquists: The Event that Created Christianity

Eric Zuesse
4.9/5 (17845 ratings)
Description:CHRIST’S VENTRILOQUISTS is a work of investigative history. It documents and describesChristianity’s creation-event, in the year 49 or 50, in Antioch (present-day Antakya, Turkey), 20 years afterJesus had been crucified in Jerusalem for sedition against Roman rule. On this occasion, Paul broke away fromthe Jewish sect that Jesus had begun, and he took with him the majority of this sect’s members; he convincedthese people that Jesus had been a god, and that the way to win eternal salvation in heaven is to worship himas such. Paul here explicitly introduced, for the first time anywhere, the duality of the previously unitary JewishGod, a duality consisting of the Father and the Son; and he implicitly introduced also the third element of theTrinity, the Holy Ghost.This work also explains and documents the tortuous 14-year-long conflict Paul had had with this sect’sleader, Jesus’s brother James, a conflict that caused Paul, in about the year 50, to perpetrate his coup d’étatagainst James, and to start his own new religion: Christianity.Then, this historical probe documents that the four canonical Gospel accounts of the words and actionsof “Jesus” were written decades after Jesus, by followers of Paul, not by followers of Jesus; and that thesewritings placed into the mouth of “Jesus” the agenda of Paul. Paul thus effectively became, via his followers,Christ’s ventriloquist.A work such as this can be documented and produced only now, after the development (during the past70 years) of modern legal/forensic methodology. Previously, the only available methods, which scholars haveused, simply assumed the honesty-of-intent of all classical documents, especially of canonical religious ones,such as Paul’s epistles, and the Four Gospels. Only now is it finally possible to penetrate deeper than that, toreach the writer’s intent, and not merely his assertions, and to identify when this intent is to deceive instead of toinform. Whereas scholars have been able to discuss only the truth or falsity of particular canonical statements, itis now possible to discuss also the honesty or deceptiveness of individual statements. This opens up anunprecedented new research tool for historians, and CHRIST’S VENTRILOQUISTS is the first work to use thesenew methods to reconstruct, on this legal/forensic basis, not just how crimes took place, but how and why majorhistorical events (criminal or not), such as the start of Christianity, actually occurred.The author explains: “What I am doing in this work is to reconstruct from the New Testament the crucialevents that produced it, without assuming whether what the NT says in any given passage is necessarily true oreven honest. Instead of treating the NT as a work that ‘reports history,’ the NT is treated as a work whosehistory is itself being investigated and reported. Its origin goes back to this coup d’état that Paul perpetrated inAntioch in the year 49 or 50 against Jesus’s brother James in Jerusalem, whom Jesus in Jerusalem hadappointed in the year 30 as his successor to lead the Jewish sect that Jesus had started. The Gospel accountsof ‘Jesus’ reflected Paul’s coup d’état – not actually Jesus, who would be appalled at the Christian conceptof ‘Christ.’ That concept was radically different from the Jewish concept of the messiah, and Paul knew thiswhen he created it.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
