Does for Christianity what The God Delusion did for general religionReligious belief in the West is atrophying - except in the USA where it has retreated into Christian fundamentalism. This iconoclastic book provides historical reinforcement to the former and a clear challenge to the latter. It offers a completely new and comprehensive answer to the question 'Who exactly was Jesus and how does that relate to what Christians came to believe after his death?'

Most important of all, it provides an account of people and events that is not just intellectually plausible, but psychologically satisfying.It will become required reading for anyone who cares about the roots of western civilisation, and the fight for a secular society.
