Krátky popis
‘Monumental and eye-opening’ Reza Aslan 'A revelation […and…] an
intellectual triumph' Irish Independent '[A] massive achievement'
Spectator ‘Refreshingly readable' Guardian For the past two
thousand years, Christian tradition, scholarship, and pop culture
has credited the authorship of the New Testament to a select group
of men: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul. But the truth is that
these individuals did not write alone. In some meaningful ways they
did not write at all.Hidden behind these named and sainted
individuals are a cluster of enslaved coauthors and collaborators,
almost all of whom go uncredited. They were responsible for
producing the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament. They took
dictation, sometimes editorialising in the process, and polished
and refined the final manuscripts.When the Christian message began
to move independently from the first apostles it was enslaved
missionaries who undertook the dangerous journeys across the
Mediterranean and along dusty Roman roads to move Christianity from
Jerusalem and the Levant to Rome, Spain, North Africa and Egypt.
Finally, when these texts were read aloud to new audiences of
curious potential converts, it was educated and trained enslaved
workers who performed them – deciding whether a statement was
sincere or sarcastic, a throwaway remark or something central to be
emphasised. Their influence in the spread of Christianity and
making of the Bible was enormous, yet their role has been almost
entirely overlooked until now.Filled with profound revelations for
reading and understanding the gospels themselves, God’s
Ghostwriters is a groundbreaking and rigorously researched book
about how enslaved people shaped the Bible, and with it all of
Christianity. It’s also an intimate portrait of lives not often
considered by history, and a reckoning with the motives and methods
of the early Christians as they spread their message across the
ancient world.
