Prieur and Mordillat, authors of Jesus after Jesus, spent over three years assembling and interviewing 23 of the world's most astute historians, archeologists, and writers on religion to probe the emergence of Christianity. In their investigation, they demonstrate how the death and crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans set into motion an irreversible division of Jews and Christians. They bring to their discussions research into the most controversial issues in the Christian world, including: Did Jesus found the Church? Is Jesus God? Did Jesus have siblings? What is the relationship between Judaism and Christianity? And who was the Apostle Paul, and was he the true founder of the Church?
