She is an American Critic of Christainity who operates a website, "Truth be Known" in which she contends to reveal the truth, that Jesus CHrust is a fictional person, and a plagerised pagan myth stilen by the early Chruch and supposed as an actual personso as to unify the Orman State.
She claims many impressive things abotu herself, billing herslef as a Historian, mythologist, rleigious scholar, and linguist, as well as Archeologist.
Hosever, in relaity she seems to hold only a masters of Liberal arts form Frankin University.
Her book, "The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story dever Sold" is an expanded verison fo her website, and both have been heavily critisised for their lack of use of primary soruces, diliberate obtuse and obviosuly biased remarks, lack of formal reaosning, and promenant use of secondary soruces, which themselves ar often suspect.
such as Barbara walkers "womens encyclopedia of Mysh and Secrets" and "The worlds 16 Crucified Saviors" by Kersye Graves. The latter beign the pimary soruce ofr her book, which relies heavily on quotatiosnform others to generate an artificial air of authority for the work,which if examined wants you to beelive thwt Jesus did nto exist as an actual person because the author has found people who say he didnt. This beign the primary weakness of the book, which sems geared to sales rather than scholarship, dispite its claims.
