The Gospel Forgeries

By Joseph Wheless

Book Overview

The Gospel Forgeries is a book written by Joseph Wheless that explores the origins of the four Gospels of the New Testament. Wheless argues that the Gospels were not written by their traditionally attributed authors (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), but rather by anonymous authors who wrote them decades after the events they describe. He claims that the Gospels contain numerous contradictions and inconsistencies, and that they were written to promote certain theological agendas rather than to accurately record historical events.Wheless also examines the historical and cultural context in which the Gospels were written, including the influence of Greek philosophy and Roman politics on early Christianity. He argues that the Gospels were not intended to be historical documents, but rather works of fiction or propaganda designed to advance the interests of the early Christian church.The Gospel Forgeries is a controversial book that challenges traditional Christian beliefs about the origins and authenticity of the Gospels. It is a scholarly work that draws on a wide range of historical and literary sources to make its arguments.THIS 72 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Forgery in Christianity: A Documented Record of the Foundations of the Christian Religion, by Joseph Wheless.
