Creating Christianity - A Weapon Of Ancient Rome

Henry Davis, "Creating Christianity - A Weapon Of Ancient Rome"
English | ISBN: 1789265576 | October 7, 2018 | EPUB | 327 pages | 1.61 MB

The first-century saw a bloody battle between Judaea and Rome known as the first Roman-Jewish War. A rebel group called the Pharisees, who were fighting for a fairer society, opposed the institution of slavery which Rome inflicted on the Judaean people. This resulted in a series of rebellions which saw millions of Jews die or be taken into slavery and led to the destruction of the city of Jerusalem. Independent scholars have claimed the Christian scriptures were created by Rome's aristocracy as a literary weapon to manipulate the common people and suppress the spreading of Judaism. These claims are considered ridiculous by both religious and non-religious people - but is there any truth to them?
Henry Davis challenges mainstream scholarship by explaining why the Flavian authorship of the New Testament theory is inaccurate but does provide a vital piece of a complex puzzle,
and why the Piso authorship theory has not been understood and is therefore largely unknown and mostly dismissed.
Davis details * Why Flavius Josephus never existed and was a pen name * How the Book of
Revelation presents the name of the 'main author' * The reason the number 666 was changed to 616 * Facts behind the personal, and political reasons behind the royal Roman-Jewish family the Calpurnius Pisos' desire to create a new belief system to maintain Rome's power * How the Pisos used literary techniques and the alpha-numeric systems of the time to insert their names into the scriptures.
