What actually transpired Easter Week/Passover 33 A.D.?
The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth was a Hoax!
Culled
from First Century Texts and drawn from dozens
of biblical and secular sources, these monologues tell
a revisionist tale of what transpired in Judea,
Easter Week/Passover 33 AD and beyond during the
reign of the Roman Emperor Tiberius.
In the classical argots of Petronius, Rabelais,
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Lenny Bruce, Guy Ritchie,
James Joyce, David Jones, Cockney and the world's
myriad cryptolects, The Canaanite Gospel strips
bare the New Testament canard of the Resurrection
of Yeshu of Nazareth and pokes a
stick in the eye of the Synoptic Gospels.
