'Jesus Lied. He Was Only Human' is arguably the most comprehensive and exhaustive debunking of the Christian myth on bookshelves today. Like a forensic accountant, Werleman meticulously pulls apart the New Testament thread-by-thread until the greatest lie ever told is exposed for all to see. Werleman not only reveals the suffering Jesus caused his early followers, he cleverly demonstrates that the New Testament is brim full with contradictory views, conflicting accounts, historical flaws, and irreconcilable discrepancies. Comprehensive. Funny. Entertaining. Engaging. A must read for anyone who wants to silence their evangelical friend. "C.J. Werleman is a warrior for truth and a liberator against superstition. Jesus Lied is his slap across the face of biblical literalism." -Sean Hoade 'Darwin's Dreams' "This book is an all out undermining assault on an old cult that needs to exit stage left. Werleman lights a fire underneath a historically flawed religion. A must read." - Alex Wilhelm 'In Praise of Christopher Hitchens' "With this book, CJ has rightfully earned the title of atheism's preeminent 'blue collar intellectual'. No one has successfully brought down a religious faith as comprehensively and meticulously as he." - Tim Hawken 'Hellbound'

Easy to read, light hearted but good solid sense that everyone should be exposed to. Amazing that anyone every bought into this in the first place...

If you're still waiting for JC to return, why not read this while you're clicking your heels?

Following on from his earlier book in which he gave a very thorough and undignified roughing-up to God-The-Father, Werleman now slams Jesus-The-Son up against the wailing wall and delivers some pretty brutal knees to the Anointed One's groin.
The author is the first to admit that there's nothing new in his merciless attack on the pivotal character of Christianity - it's all been done before, of course.
However, unlike the more delicate and scholarly writers of older and more fearful times, C. J. exhibits no deference to a subject that has sought to wrap itself in everything from 'being sacrosanct' to inventing the 'crime' of blasphemy.
I love Werleman's style. He has no time for guff and hokum - especially when such devices are used by the cynical to control the ignorant.
If you are religious you will not want this book, much less read it.
If - on the other hand - you are growing weary of global and local conflicts and tensions that are predicated on who believes in the correct invisible being, you might just find that this book will give you that last push out of the darkness of age-old superstition into the clear and fresh light of logic, reason, common sense and - above all - humanity.
Having thus dispensed with two-thirds of the Holy Trinity, I can't wait for C. J. Werleman's next book in which he might be obliged to tackle that dastardly insubstantial one - The Holy Ghost.

Well researched work looking at the Gospels horizontally, ie. comparing each story from each of the gospels to analyse similarities and differences and conclude who copied from whom and why such differences would have come about.
There are quite a few typographical and grammatical errors though which makes it drop a star.

Needs a good editor
This book is amusing, and makes many good points, but the author's childish use of ridicule and profanity absolutely detracts from the narrative. Read more

Let down by shoddy production
As a confirmed atheist already, I was looking forward to a good explanation of some of the contradictions within the New Testament. Read more

OBVIOUSLY THE AUTHOR ISN'T A STUDENT OF HISTORY, SCIENCES, THEOLOGY OR...
Probably one of the worst books I've ever come across. Not only is there no sound scientific or philosophical basis for the claims made here, but on top of that, the genuine... Read more

What to say the next time a religious zealot knocks on your front door
It's very well known that the New Testament was cobbled together by 300-odd bishops in 325 AD. The whole story is far worse than that. Read more

Eye opener
Well I always thought the 'good book' was a story book. This just adds fuel to the fire. Entertainingly brilliant.

Fascinating reading and written in a humourous way.
Having read "God Hates You, Hate Him Back" it was inevitable that I would read Jesus Lied - He Only Only Human". Read more

Good book
Could be better presented and a little more balanced rather than mocking all of the time but the content was there so 4 stars.
