Your guide on this journey through the world of Christendom is former fundamentalist Brian Flemming. While dissecting the historical timeline for the events of the New Testament Flemming discovers some big holes in the story - a problem, given that Christianity bases itself on claims of historical accuracy.

There many similarities between Jesus Christ and other, older mythic savior figures like Dionysus and Mithras. Elements of Jesus’ character can also be found in earlier gods Thor, Balder, Deva tat, Beddru, Bacchus and Horus. Key ideas in the story of Christ are also found in these stories: the idea of being "Born of a virgin on December 25", "Killed on a Cross or Tree", "Visited by Magi from the East", "Rode Donkeys into the City" and "Betrayed for 30 Pieces of Silver".

Was Christ just a fictional character based on traditional ideas of salvation and redemption? The God Who Wasn’t There dives fearlessly head-first into this question, charting the timeline and examining the facts of what happened 2,000 years ago.
