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

2.0

Conspiracy theory-laden book about Jesus, his education, teachings, and whether or not he really died on the cross. Like (presumably) all conspiracy theory (I haven't read a lot), this was flat out absurd at times and thought-provoking at others. Took me way too long to finish the second half of it because I had become bored with the author's prose at that point. Was too excited to finish it that I didn't pay quite enough attention to the last two chapters. I probably would have had much wilder opinions on it if I knew a lick of theology and/or much about the Bible or Jesus to begin with.
