Religion, Christianity
Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille
Summary
Wilson calls his argument the 'Jesus Cover-Up Thesis', and claims that the religion of Paul displaced the teachings of Jesus, so that Paul's preaching about a divine gentile Christ covered up the human Jewish Jesus. He surveys the political, social… and religious contexts of ancient Palestine, demonstrating that the religion of James, the brother of Jesus, was much closer to the religious practice of Jesus himself, but that the followers of Paul suppressed Jesus' teachings in favour of their own leader. 2008.
