This is a new feature within my Book Reviews section, devoted to new books with the same bottom line as The Jesus Puzzle, namely that there was no historical Jesus. Such reviews will generally be shorter than the regular book reviews—and more positive—and where the authors have related web sites, links to those sites will be provided. While I might not agree with every detail or argument presented by these authors, and may express such reservations (which is not to say that my viewpoint will always be the correct one), I can recommend each of the books that will be reviewed here.
