Paul McGrane (Author)
Dr Paul McGrane holds a first-class honours in English from Ulster University and a DPhil in English from Oxford University, based on 3 years research on original manuscript material in the Bodleian Library. In this first of a three-volume series, Paul has applied his expertise in textual analysis during a twenty-year research programme, comparing the Old Testament with other ancient texts – notably those preserved in ancient Egyptian records – to try to separate truth from myth or misapprehension and in a search for rationalist solutions to fundamental issues of Christian belief.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Discover the real truth about Jesus and the early history of Christianity“Remarkable new analysis of the source texts of the Bible seeks to revolutionise our understanding of the origins of Christianity and Judaism” Geoff Ward, Medium“A revolutionary new understanding of the roots of Judaism and Christianity” NEXUS“. .

. ideas and conclusions that strongly challenge accepted beliefs” CADUCEUS“Immaculately researched and brilliantly written” 5-star reader reviewMistaken Messiahs is the second volume in a three-book series calledA Bonfire of Inanities: The Bible DismantledA Bonfire of Inanities: The Bible Dismantled offers, in three volumes, a revolutionary new understanding of the roots of Judaism and Christianity by way of a complete, rationalistic re-interpretation of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

There has never been anything like this – in scope, in approach, and in findings. It may be possible to continue in Jewish or Christian belief in the light of this trilogy, but it would be a very different kind of religious faith from the one normally espoused.

Each volume has been written to stand alone, but there is a natural sequence to the arguments developed which is facilitated if they are read in order. This volume, Mistaken Messiahs, traces how Jewish messianic belief finds its way unrecognisably into the New Testament.

It shows that the Jesus of the Gospels was a fiction disguising a more mundane reality. And that the entire chronology of 1st Century Palestine is shifted forwards by a decade, obscuring the real personalities and events behind the Christian story.

The previous volume, Ancestral Tales, traces the true ancestral and religious history of the Israelites and in particular, identifies among much else, the Pharoah of the Exodus, and the historical figures behind Joseph and Moses. Volume Three, Apocalypse Postponed, focuses on the Christian belief in imminent apocalypse and traces how thoroughgoing misunderstanding of the relevant Old and New Testament texts has led to two millennia of fallacious expectation.
