A cult classic by the archaeologist who popularized the Dead Sea Scrolls, maintaining through a complex argument rooted in linguistics that the historical Jesus never existed but was the invention of a psilocybin-mushroom-ingesting fertility cult.

The book has been known to pop up in Joe Rogan's popular podcast as one of his perennial talking points.
