Book excerpt: This book challenges Christianity¿s fundamental doctrines relating to Jesus Christ the son of God. Evidence is presented revealing that the Bible is not historically reliable and that the early church doctored the New Testament to suit its own political and social agenda.Jesus of the Christian faith is proved to be another version of the many pagan son of God myths current at the time the New Testament was compiled. Ancient Greek, Persian and Roman myths show an uncanny resemblance to the Jesus story as presented to the world by the Christian church. The mission of the real man behind the myth, his family connections and attitudes, is unveiled by highlighting passages of 'primitive text¿ buried in the four gospels.Mary Magdalene and the many legends surrounding her are explored and explained.Also, the God of the Old Testament, Yahweh, far from being the creator of the universe, is proved to be just another of the many pagan Gods of his times. Old Testament verses are used to prove to the reader that the ancient Israelites worshipped the planets in the form of idols of various descriptions and that Yahweh had a wife or consort who was worshipped alongside him. Domenic believes that the loss of this female deity and the restrictions placed on female participation in our religions has created an unhealthy gender distortion in our spiritual worship.Paul the apostle is given a thorough revision that challenges the more scholarly views of who this man was. This book makes the claim that his letters were extensively edited before they found their way into the New Testament. Paul¿s original teachings are reconstructed and found to be at odds with the claims of the Christian church.
