The Spinoza Bible Decoded

This is the book the comments asked for.

For three years, the Spinoza Forever channel has worked through the layers of what we now call the Bible: what was written, what was changed, what was added, what was forced into the canon, what was burned. Across sixty-eight videos, the picture became too complete to leave scattered.

This is that picture, in one place.

ORGANIZED BY THEME, NOT CHRONOLOGY. Each chapter takes one substantive claim of mainstream Christianity and shows what the historical and textual record actually says.

WHAT THE FIFTEEN PARTS COVER:

1. Who actually wrote the Bible (none of the named authors did)

2. The Old Testament: sources, history, and the fluid text

3. The Documentary Hypothesis explained, J, E, D, P

4. The Exodus that did not happen (no archaeological evidence exists)

5. David and Solomon: archaeology vs. text

6. The Jesus of history vs. the Christ of faith

7. Four Gospels, four different Jesuses

8. The resurrection: incompatible accounts

9. Paul vs. Jesus: a systematic comparison

10. The Trinity: not in the Bible

11. Hell: a late invention

12. Original Sin and inherited guilt, a fifth-century Latin doctrine

13. Women in the original Jesus movement

14. The text itself: documented alterations

15. What Spinoza saw, three centuries before modern scholarship
