Jesus Christ existed. The very fact of his existence is not an invention or a myth. His existence is proven by a multitude of documents. But to what extent did the real Jesus match the image painstakingly constructed by biblical scholars over nearly two thousand years?
The well-known journalist and publicist Yulia Latynina conducted her own historical investigation, one that will overturn your understanding of who Jesus was, what values he preached, and what he called for.
