"Great fun. A deluge of facts presented in a very readable style. I don't think Baigent pulls all his rambling conjecture together into a tight conclusion, but the whole thing is interesting and engaging.
One flaw in the logic: Baigent states that when a crucified person could no longer support the weight of the body "death by asphixiation rapidly followed." pg 127. He then speculates that Jesus may have been rendered unconcious by drugs and only appeared to be dead. But if Jesus was unconscious and his body slumped, wouldn't he have rapidly died of asphixiation? Considerable time must have passed between Jesus losing consciousness and the body being taken down because permission to remove the body had to be obtained from Pilate. Surely the time involved in travelling from Golgotha to Pilate's palace in Jerusulem, waiting for an audience, obtaining permission and then travelling back to Gethsemene would be too long for an unconscious person to survive on the cross.
The first century history is interesting and well presented, bringing together various strands into a convincing restructuring.
Lets hope the ancient manuscripts Baigent claims still exist will be made public one day soon."
"Presents some good theories on whether Jesus actually died on the cross or not. His proofs for some of these theories are a little weak, but it's based on an even that occurred roughly 2000 yrs ago. Either way, if you believe him or not, it still gives good insight on the politics and thinking during Jesus' time as well as the development of the church."
"I read this shortly after reading "Da Vinci Code," due to my new found interest in Jesus' life. I don't remember much from this and I can't even say that I finished it. Does that help?"
