Jews, Christians and Muslims have been grossly mislead about their religions. All three were perverted from their shared origins, by politics, avarice and greed. The greatest of these perversions is Christianity. Academics knew the truth but dared not publish it. Church leaders knew the truth about Jesus but lied to hide it. They know that Christianity is one of many monotheistic religions based on an identical theme and they carried out a ruthless and bloodthirsty campaign which has failed to eradicate the truth. The Greatest Lie Ever Told takes the reader on a historical voyage, using wit and logic to reveal the evidence of research that no one wanted you to see. The author proves his allegations, presents truth not speculation and shows where the future path of the Church must lie. The Greatest Lie Ever Told isn't some vague conjecture, it is a fact.
This book is interesting as an idea, but not interesting enough as a topic for me. The author utilizes archeology and ancient (mostly Egyptian) historical records to expose some inaccuracies of the Bible, to link both the Old and New Testaments to their Egyptian origin, and to introduce the "primitive" form of nationalism in Jewish history. Because I have not read either the Old or the New Testament, I have no idea, but the author summarizes succintly the two before going into the falsity, so I could learn about the stories within the two Testaments. However, the inaccuracies went on and on, without a prominent order other than the chronology, so I lost interests after a while and resorted to skimming the whole thing. Maybe an experienced Bible interpreter might find this book of great interest.
An amazing and comprehensive book, well researched and fully referenced. It takes the reader back to Egypt to discover the origins of Judaism within the religion of Akhenaten. The latest archaeology supports the explanation. The author then looks at how Christianity too, evolved from much later Egyptian religion brought to the Ancient Greeks by Pythagoras.
The history of the corruption of Christianity is clearly explained, and how various covert groups tried to keep the original teachings alive, even to the founding of the new world in America.
The appendices, on Islam and the Roman Catholic Church's research into the Afterlife, alone were worth reading the book for.
