“careful attention to the history of the world for the last eighteen hundred years has shown me, that the priests of all religions have practiced fraud to forward their objects...I cannot forget that the priests of every age have protected, as ours do now protect, impostures, and that in every age numerous examples of pious fraud may be found...Magic is pretty nearly over, but fraud seldom throve better – Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis, 1833)”

“Matthew lists twenty-eight generations from David to Jesus, while Luke tabulates forty-three. According to John Jesus visited Jerusalem at least four times, but the Synoptics (Mark, Luke and Matthew) assure us that he journeyed to that city only once. As to the length of Jesus’ ministry the Synoptics say one year, but John says at least 3 years. From the Synoptical account, we gather that the savior carried out his work chiefly in Galilee. But John informs us that Judea was the principle theatre of the ministry of Christ – John G. Jackson (Pagan Origins of the Jesus Myth)”

“…Megiddo, Gezer and Hazor and Jerusalem were in reality more like villages...with small public buildings and poorly constructed dwellings with clay floors. The objects reveal a material culture, which, even by the standards of the ancient Near East, could not be judged sophisticated or luxurious. The ‘magnificence’ of the age of Solomon is parochial and decidedly lackluster – Professor James Pritchard (Solomon and Sheba)”

“If Jesus was truly the Son of God, why did he make such insignificant impact on the prominent intellectuals and historians of his time? Why do contemporary historians and intellectuals not mention Jesus or any of his acts? Why do recently discovered texts – such as the Gnostic Gospels, Dead Sea Scrolls and various Apocryphal works – not corroborate New Testament’s key accounts? Why were these texts considered uncanonical?”
