How did today's accepted concept of Jesus come to exist? Through extensive scholarly research and deep interpretation of the existing texts, Peter Cresswell offers a groundbreaking answer to that question. Taking a hard look at the surviving manuscripts from early Christianity, including the Gospels and letters to key figures, he reaches astonishing conclusions about the New Testament and the founding of the Christian Church. Claiming that the divinity of Jesus and the Resurrection have been progressively introduced into the narrative, Cresswell pinpoints exactly what part of the character of Jesus the Christian Church has, over time, invented. This is arguably one of the most important books ever written in the field of New Testament textual analysis, and one that should direct scholastic endeavors for years to come.
