The Jesus Papers (2006) is an arch-fi book by Michael Baigent.

Abstract

“Exposing the greatest cover-up in history.” This is the declared goal of this masterpiece of fantastic archaeology, which follows and combines the theses of two previous best-sellers from the same author, Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982 Baigent/Leigh/Lincoln), arch-fi and The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception (1991 Baigent/Leigh), arch-fi. Jesus belonged to the Egyptian Therapeutae Jews; was married with Mary of Magdalene, a wealthy, well respected woman; survived the crucifixion; and his “traditional” story has been fabricated out of deception. An international success.

"What if everything we have been told about the origins of Christianity is a lie? ... What if a small group had always known the truth and had kept it hidden until now? ... What if there is evidence that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion? ... In Holy Blood, Holy Grail Michael Baigent and his co-authors Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh stunned the world with a controversial theory that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene married and founded a holy bloodline. The book became an international publishing phenomenon and was one of the sources for Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. Now, with two additional decades of research behind him, Baigent's The Jesus Papers presents explosive new evidence that challenges everything we know about the life and death of Jesus."--Publisher description.
