Description
Playwright and theology student Christopher Marlowe knew enough about classical literature to distinguish a true history from a literary satire. That is why he was writing a book "against the Trinity". It explained that Jesus was a "deceiver "in "vain and idle stories", and that "before Titus and Vespasian conquered" Jerusalem, Christianity was unknown. He was right. There was no historical Jesus. Marlowe knew that the Gospels are literary and not historical documents. He knew that they were a Roman creation "all of one man's making" , created at the instigation of Josephus at the court of the Flavian Caesars, as a ‘book of riddles’. The four gospels were part of the same literary endeavour that invented the history of a pacifist messiah set in the 30s CE, essentially as clever war propaganda to stabilize the Messianic factions in the Empire. Marlowe was going around giving this atheist lecture to senior courtiers ,and this made him dangerous, so he was conveniently killed in a Government 'safe house', in front of two witnesses, one from each branch of the secret service.
