Challenging widely held assumptions about the sources of the "Bible" and the quest for the historical Jesus, this work argues that the quest for the historical Jesus is beside the point, since Jesus of the gospels never existed. It presents David and Jesus not as historical figures, but as metaphors embodying long-established messianic traditions.
