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.
