The Jesus Papers: Exposing the Greatest Cover-up in History by Michael Baigent

2.0

I've been meaning to read this for years, but it was kind of a bummer because there were too many rabbit holes and dead-end theorizing. I was shouting at the author multiple times about giant leaps of supposition that were completely nonsensical.

Good background on the era, from a historical point of view, but the connections are weak between parts. Also, there's been a lot more translation and research since this came out that cause some trouble for his ideas.
