Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All (2010 Fitzgerald), non-fiction book

Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All (2010) is a non-fiction book by David Fitzgerald.

Abstract

A work supporting the Jesus Myth Theory.

"Why would anyone think Jesus never existed? Isn’t it perfectly reasonable to accept that he was a real first century figure? As it turns out, no. Nailed sheds light on ten beloved Christian myths, and, with evidence gathered from historians across the theological spectrum, shows how they point to a Jesus Christ created solely through allegorical alchemy of hope and imagination; a messiah transformed from a purely literary, theological construct into the familiar figure of Jesus - in short, a purely mythic Christ."--Publisher description.
