The Betrayal: The Lost Life of Jesus (2008) is a novel by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear.

Abstract

An alternate story of the life of Jesus, based on actual documents recovered from archaeological sites in the Middle East. It is the story of a man whose own family thought he was mad (Mark 3:21). It is the story of a man who met a violent end at the hands of Roman authorities. The historical Jesus did threaten and enrage people, from the priestly aristocracy in the Jerusalem temple to the Roman Prefect who finally condemned him to be crucified.--From the Authors' introduction.
