In Wilson's interpretation, Jesus was a Galilean holy man, an heir to the prophetic tradition, who possessed charismatic healing powers; it is improbable that this monotheistic Jew ever believed himself to be the Second Person of the Trinity or that he instituted the Eucharist. Wilson proposes that the feast at Cana may have been Jesus's own wedding; that the woman who poured ointment over his feet and wiped them with her hair is a detail "too strange" to have been invented; that Jesus's cousin John the Baptist came to disbelieve that Jesus was the Messiah; and that the Stranger seen by Jesus's disciples after his death was probably Jesus's brother James. This biography also suggests that Judas was innocent of betraying Jesus, that "the Pharisees were among the most virtuous men who had ever lived," that Jesus was never tried by the Jewish Sanhedrin, and that Paul was the high priest's servant who supervised Jesus's arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Typical Jesus-denying dribble.

If Wilson wrote a biography of George W. Bush it would go like this.

George was a big oil man who was selected, not elected. George did not believe he won, but he took office anyways. George was a likeable guy who couldn't put two words together. September 11th was most likely planned by George. Joe and Vallerie Plame were honorable characters who were victims of George's attacks. Democrats were among the most virtuous people ever and would never say anything untruthful about George.
