Jesus: Pagan Christ or Jewish Messiah? "Who created Jesus? And why?" (Haven't read this one, so I
can't comment as to its conclusions.
The Christ Myth by Ed Selby. Excellent overview from a Universalist Unitarian site.
The Diegesis by Rev. Robert Taylor. Used to be online, but
this book is well worth owning, as it was written by one of the most brilliant minds in history.
THE TWELVE: FURTHER FICTIONS FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT by Frank Zindler. Outlines other
fictional characters in the New Testament, including the 12 disciples: "Among the many imaginary characters of the New Testament, perhaps the
most blatantly obvious fictions are the Twelve Disciples. Of course, if Jesus was a sun-god (and who else is born on the winter solstice and
worshiped on Sunday?), he would have needed twelve zodiacal accomplices, one for every month of the year, or one for every sign of the zodiac
through which the sun's chariot journeys."
Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth by John
Jackson. Another thorough researcher.
The Christ by John Remsburg: "If Christ was not originally a solar god he wears today the livery of one. His
mother, the Virgin, was the mother of the solar gods; his birthday, Christmas, is the birthday of all the gods of the sun; his Twelve Apostles
correspond to the twelve signs of the Zodiac; according to the Gospels, at his crucifixion the sun was eclipsed, he expired toward sunset, and
rose again with the sun; the day appointed for his worship, the Lord's day, is the dies solis, Sunday, of the sun worshipers; while the principal
feasts observed in memory of him were once observed in honor of their goals. 'Every detail of the Sun myth,' says the noted astronomer, Richard
A. Proctor, 'is worked into the record of the Galilean teacher.'"
The Christ Remsburg expertly tackles the alleged nonbiblical evidence of
Jesus's existence, such as the spurious Josephus passage, etc.
Sun Worship Images Christian iconography revolves around the solar mythology.
Review of Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ by Jeff Lowder.
Debunks the latest attempts by apologists.

form determined by observation of the solar cycle."
Tacitus and
Bracciolini Written in 1878 by JW Ross, an "excellent Latin scholar," who attempted to prove that Tacitus's Annals were forged.
The Christ Passage in Josephus A critical essay by scholar Solomon Zeitlin on the
