Judas Et Tu

"Et tu, Judas? Then Fall Jesus!" by Gary Courtney, published by iUniverse. About two thousand years ago, a great man who was renowned for forgiveness and magnanimity was betrayed and slain by his compatriots who feared he would become their King. To the chagrin of his murderers, he was soon hailed as a God and the momentous events that ensued paved the way for the birth of Christianity. The venue for this drama, however, was not Jerusalem as might be supposed, but rather the eternal city of Rome. It is a description of the founder of the Roman Empire. In a work stranger than fiction, Gary Courtney propounds that the Jesus of Nazareth that graces the pages of the New Testament is an entirely mythological personage, and presents a step by step explanation of how the beloved Saviour of the Christian religion entered the world from the wings of a stage. Gary Courtney was born is Sydney, Australia in 1952 where he still resides. He has worked at many different vocations and has maintained a lifelong interest in history, religion and politics. A practiced public speaker and debater, he is currently developing a phonetic spelling system for the English language. Book details: 182 pages, published 2004.
