More than 100 years ago historians began ap-
plying critical methods of documentary analysis
to the Judaeo-Christian Bible. To scholars who
had hoped to prove the Bible's authenticity, the
results were traumatic.
One by one the various books of the
Bible were discovered to contain errors of fact;
inaccurate guesses; rationalizations; prophecies
ex post facto, usually combined with prophecies
ofthe future that proved inaccurate; and unmis-
takable, deliberate lies. Such was the power of
the churches that, despite the publication of
thousands of scholarly books and articles refut-
ing every part of the Judaeo-Christian Bible, to
this day the existence of unchallengeable proof
that the Bible is a work offiction is unknown to
ninety percent of the population of Christian-
dominated societies.
For a century this information has been
available only to students willing to wade
through dozens of books, each of which deals
with only one aspect ofJudaeo-Christian myth-
ology. It is hoped that, by bringing together in-
formation on the origin and development of
every part of the Yahweh- and Jesus-myths, this
book will make the facts available to a large
enough segment of the population to end the
equation of god-mythology with history perma-
nently.
