I wouldnt say that just a single book can have that great effect.

Scientology and the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints survive and prosper despite being based on obvious frauds. Many books, movies, TV Programs, etc. have exposed their ridiculous origin stories.

Christianity is based on miraculous claims from 2000 years ago that while highly improbable to non-believers are much harder to refute at this point. While it has largely died in Northern and Western Europe it remains strong as ever in the USA, South America, etc.

It just got a lot easier in 2006, when NGS brought the story to TV. April 6, 2006. Judas has his own Gospel?

I disagree. Christianity is failing here (except Red States). Growing in China.

Aw, c'mon. Are you sure? It was such fun to write!

Many authors have come up with different ideas claiming to end Christianity. He's not the first to do that. However, his findings can't harm Christianity in no way.

No way, no how? I feel so cheated.

I really like this one!

I agree with you

Not really. The best it does it to increase the discussion that surrounds Christianity. Christianity is an area yet to be fully unearthed.

I specifically invited others to join the quest.

I absolutely do not believe that one book could end the practice of Christianity. Since so many novels out there already question faith and believers, I doubt one other book would change that.

Mine is not a novel. I deliver the final blow to historicity. Historicity is the notion that Jesus was a historical person with a history. He was not. We now have PERIOD EVIDENCE from the same time as the Gospels that show definite parity and provable sourcing. The gnostic texts from Nag Hammadi gave us the canonical Betrayal story, after the gnostic succession story was inverted. Same m.o. that Dr. Eisenman found in the DS Scrolls (Pesherim, not the biblical ones).

While not having the read the actual book yet, I find it hard to believe that a single book could end any religion. However, I think it can berybeasily persuade those who are mot strong in their faith or our questioning different Faiths. I am interested in seeing how this plays out.

None of them, however, had the advantage of showing brand-new period evidence that is clearly related to the canon.

This is a well-written book, but I doubt Christianity will end because of it. There are many theories about Judas and other biblical figures, but Christianity is still here. This book is like a drop in the ocean.

Christianity has a strong foundation which can hardly be brought down. I think the aim of the author was to dispense knowledge.

It isn't as strong now as it may have been in 1945, before Nag Hammadi and Qumran.
