Synopsis

I have purchased the rights to my work "Caesar's Messiah" from the publisher and in May 2011, I released a second edition known as The Flavian Signature Edition of this same title. This new edition contains two discoveries not in the first. The first is the confession of the Flavians that they invented Christianity. The second shows that a sequence in the Gospel of Luke is a virtually line by line symbolic representation of a section of Josephus. I refer to this discovery as the Flavian Signature in Luke, and believe it puts the question of who wrote the Gospels to rest.

From the Back Cover

"Challenging and provocative. If what Joseph Atwill is saying is only partially true, we are looking into the abyss." -- Robert Eisenman, author of "James the Brother of Jesus"

Was Jesus the invention of a Roman emperor? The author of this ground-breaking book believes he was. "Caesar's Messiah" reveals the key to a new and revolutionary understanding of Christian origins.

The clues leading to its startling conclusions are found in the writings of the first-century historian Flavius Josephus, whose "War of the Jews" is one of the only historical chronicles of this period. Closely comparing the work of Josephus with the New Testament Gospels, "Caesar's Messiah" demonstrates that the Romans directed the writing of both. Their purpose: to offer a vision of a "peaceful Messiah" who would serve as an alternative to the revolutionary leaders who were rocking first-century Israel and threatening Rome.

Similarly, "Caesar's Messiah" will rock our understanding of Christian history as it reveals that Jesus was a fictional character portrayed in four Gospels written not by Christians but Romans.
