A serious- minded weighing of ideas, beliefs, and theological arguments, Dec 13 2005
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jesus Goes to Hollywood: The Alternative Theories About Christ (Hardcover)
Jesus Goes To Hollywood: The Alternative Theories About Christ is a compilation of iconoclastic theories about Jesus drawn from scholarly inquiries, metaphysical sources, and the theological clashes between orthodoxy and heresies. This methodical survey about "everything you never wanted to know about Christ, or were afraid to ask" covers such topics as the angels alleged to be in contact with Christ, whether Jesus visited other continents including North America, what unusual religious such as Gnosticism have to say about Jesus Christ and the afterlife, how hallucinogens affect Christianity, and much more. Written in plain terms, with a smattering of Hollywood-style pastiche to jocularly introduce different topics, Jesus Goes To Hollywood is entertaining yet ultimately a serious- minded weighing of ideas, beliefs, and theological arguments. Highly recommended especially for lay readers with a budding interest in alternative theology.

COVERS ALL THE THEORIES ABOUT JESUS, July 16 2005
By Elisa Bowen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jesus Goes to Hollywood: The Alternative Theories About Christ (Hardcover)
I especially enjoyed the combination of research and factual information about Jesus alternating with a fictional account of a Messiah figure who appears on Earth for a Second Coming. There is an element of mystery in these alternate chapters which kept me interested in turning the pages. I enjoyed William Bramley's first book The Gods of Eden, and I found this book even more interesting.

Bramley Switches Gears for a Great Ride, Aug 28 2005
By Red-Eyed Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jesus Goes to Hollywood: The Alternative Theories About Christ (Hardcover)
This book is really different from Bramley's first except in his courage to talk about evidence that many people won't. It is an exhaustive encyclopedia of Jesus Theories that I enjoyed on many levels, and it was far more comprehensive than I expected. Bramley presents all of the theories, not just the ones he believes in, and he has insights about Jesus that I've never read before. Some of the theories can be shocking, but Bramley takes the time to document everything. I think that the title and packaging of this book does it a disservice. Although the title is clever with a nice cover, this is a serious book with university-level scholarship. It's the kind of book you expect to find in libraries and assigned to college students. I give it two thumbs way up.
