Joining the pantheon of books about the historical Jesus comes one written by a filmmaker, not a theologian. Einhorn, who has produced documentaries and feature films (Loving Greta Garbo ), writes in a style that is definitely cinematic: no dry, dusty walk through history here. Rather, Einhorn presents information as though she were writing a mystery. Step-by-step, starting with the question of whether Jesus ever existed, she brings together all the known (and little-known) clues about the Jesus story and follows them to what she finds a logical conclusion that Jesus and Paul were one and the same. This is, by far, the weakest part of the book, with gaping holes in the most obvious of its enumerated conclusions. To her credit, Einhorn gives the arguments for and against her thesis, but the latter rather than the former are likely to persuade readers. That said, this Swedish import does a remarkable job of pulling the evidence together and presenting it in a way that should garner a good chunk of the seemingly insatiable Da Vinci Code audience.
