No signatures.; 272 pages + colour plates. Page dimensions: 234 x 152mm."Who did kill Jesus? And why did that matter so much in Hitler's Germany? For award-winning true crime investigator and documentary maker Bryan Bruce the death of Jesus of Nazareth is the ultimate cold case. The two deceptively simple questions: Who killed Jesus ? And Why? serve as the starting point for his landmark re-examination of the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of the most famous person in history. Based on in-depth intercveiws with leading theologians, his conclusion is that the Gospels'account of the arrest, trial and execution of Jesus is so flawed that the traditional Easter story in which the Jews set Jesus up to be executed by the Romans simply does not make any sense. He argues that it is based on a lie told in the first century by Christian writers and copyists trying to spin-doctor their new religion to appeal to the Romans. In the process they laundered the character of Pilate and darkened the character of the Jews. The terrible outcome of this lie takes us right to the gates of Auschwitz."The author concludes that the Jews did not kill Jesus, but rather that Pilate did.
