The question leading to this study is whether the facts and theories pertaining to the
Bible and Jesus Story as presented by The Authors (H Schonfield, D Joyce, B Thiering, M
Baigent, R Leigh, H Lincoln; M Starbird, and D Brown) could be verified by the
Archaeology evidence. I have adopted a multidiscipline and holistic approach
considering information gathered from all media sources to ascertain what theories, if
any could replace the traditional Jesus Story of the New Testament. I considered
whether the alternative theories or traditional theories were believable due to the
evidence presented by Biblical Archaeology or by the techniques used by The Authors
in presenting their facts. By using Thouless’ system of Straight and Crooked thinking I
was able to ascertain that the theories used in the novels written by The Authors may
have been persuasive, but lacked substance. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M. Th. (Biblical Archaeology)
