The Jesus Myth A Quick Study

Dov Ivry

There are two kinds of fictional characters who have been woven into the story of humanity mostly in ancient times. The first are complete fictions. These are known as myths. The second are real people about whom were told a lot of fictional stories and you can't separate the real from the imagined. These are called legends. Jesus Christ is a myth. He is a cartoon character. There is no record of his ever having a Hebrew name and the moniker he is called by in Hebrew from the time he became known is Yeshu, which is from the Hindi language and still is his name in India. There is no record of his ever having been in Israel. That's because he never was there.
