Using the latest research from New Testament scholars, John Campbell demonstrates how Christians have fundamentally misunderstood who Jesus was and what he came to do. Campbell shows how those coming after Jesus, including Paul and the early church, corrupted and drastically changed Jesus’ message and mission. Campbell demonstrates how passages from the Old Testament were mistranslated and misused to claim Jesus was something other than what he claimed to be. Campbell also reveals how the story of Jesus’ empty tomb was crafted not from eyewitnesses or oral tradition but as a literary device to impart the significance of Jesus’ spiritual resurrection. Campbell shows that the Jesus Christians came to worship is very different from the true Jesus — someone the true Jesus would not have recognized — giving birth to a religion the true Jesus would have shunned
