Paul Laffan synthesizes critical findings that portray Jesus of Nazareth and Christian origins sharply different from the picture provided in the New Testament writings and popular understandings today. This critical picture, he argues, must be better disseminated by biblical scholars to increase historical literacy regarding Jesus and the Gospels.

The last 150 years of biblical scholarship have revolutionised the understanding of the four Gospels. The revolution remains, however, largely unknown to the general public. Paul Laffan’s The Fabricated Christ argues for the wider dissemination of this knowledge and tasks those engaged in biblical criticism with greater honesty and frankness about the results of their research.

Paul Laffan teaches literature and writing at the City Literary Institute in London.
