description: 'What do we really know about the life of Jesus Christ and the decisive role of Paul? Author Andrew C. Delos—a professor emeritus who has used a penname so the work will stand on its own merits—has delved deep into the Bible and uncovered long-ignored facts which call into question many of the longest held doctrines and cherished traditions of Christianity. Was Jesus dead when he was taken from the cross? Did St. Peter ever really go to Rome? And was Jesus truly born in Bethlehem or was his place of birth somewhere else entirely? Those are just some of the provocative questions that Delos explores in this intriguing and thought-provoking work. Fluent in Greek, Delos combed original texts, comparing them to the King James Version of the Holy Bible, and factored in recent discoveries and commentaries. What emerges is a work of rare insight and intellect as Delos slowly uncovers the real story of the lives and times of Jesus and Paul, every facet presented in fascinating detail. Provocative and profound, Myths We Live By asks us to question everything we think we may know—and then provides us with a truer and more illuminating story instead. The true Christian message of peace and love remains the same (and it’s clear that Delos has no desire to discredit them) but his brilliant historical examination and re-evaluation of the facts brings forth a richer, and truer, portrait of both Jesus and Paul, one that both biblical scholars and discerning readers should appreciate.' - Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times best-selling author
