Contents/Summary
- Summary
- "The Gospel of Caesar" documents the revolutionary research of Italian linguist Francesco Carotta, who concluded after a decade-long investigation that the Gospel narrative of the New Testament was entirely based on the ancient sources on the life of Julius Caesar. Intrigued by the discovery that Caesar could be the historical Christ, the Spanish priest Pedro García González joins him on his journey right across Europe to search for traces of the deified Caesar in old Christian rituals and traditions, written sources, church art and archaeological finds. Along the way they meet other priests and scientists. They encounter skepticism and enthusiasm, criticism and approval, but every step of the way takes them closer to the obscure origins of early Christianity.
