Jesus : The Evidence

• Who exactly was Jesus – did he even exist?
• Was hypnosis a part of his healing?
• Did he intend a religion to be founded in his name?

These are just some of the key questions which surround the origins of Christianity, examined here by Ian Wilson, bestselling author of THE TURIN SHROUD. Drawing on startling new research and recent archaeological finding [sic] he makes a compelling, objective appraisal of the facts. It's a book which could provide a new perspective for both believers and sceptics alike. Ian Wilson presents the evidence – the verdict is yours.
