'In Jesus of the Apocalypse, she [Thiering] presents a new and significant view of the development of Christianity from the time of the Crucifixion until the second century AD.  She argues that Jesus was no solitary preacher appearing suddenly on the shores of Lake Galilee: he was a central figure in a major political movement to overthrow the pagan Roman empire.  Although crucified, he did not die on the cross, and he, and subsequently his sons, took an important role in the evolution of the new underground religion which was developing out of Judaism.'
