About 8 h 39 min of reading666 chapters

The Christ, published by the freethought press The Truth Seeker, is John E. Remsburg's examination of the evidence for the existence of Jesus. Remsburg, an American lecturer and writer in the freethought movement, surveys the writers of the first century who, he argues, should have mentioned Jesus and did not, and weighs the passages in Josephus, Tacitus and Pliny the Younger usually cited as testimony. He then turns to the Gospels, Acts and the letters of Paul, listing their contradictions and improbabilities at length. His conclusion distinguishes a possible human teacher from the divine Christ of the creeds, whom he regards as a myth. The book is polemical, methodical and often repetitive. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
