Jesusgate: A History of Concealment Unraveled
“Overall, this work exposes the reasons why Christians continue to splash around in the backwaters of 17th century religious naiveté, and provides the knowledge that will help mitigate that debilitating absurdity.”

This is not a religious book; it is a book about religion. Specifically, this work seeks to assess the Jesusgate phenomenon. The term Jesusgate, used herein, indicates that Christian leaders, by acts of commission and omission, have seriously neglected their responsibility to share with the laity vital information about the origins of Christianity and the Jesus tradition. As a result, an incredible knowledge gap has ensued between what scholars of religion now know, as opposed to what lay people have been led to believe (be they parishioners in the pew, or the person on the street).
If you unknowingly perceived religion with an antiquated mind-set—and nearly everyone does—wouldn’t you want to know about it? Ignorance of our religious obsolescence has created consequences for our society that are far reaching. It has disrupted the quality of life on all levels, be they personal, political, scientific, or otherwise. In Jesusgate, the problem sees the light of day, and is explained in words that are powerful, understandable, and enlightening.
