Published here in its entirety for the first time, the Voelkle Collection is the only comprehensive collection of fakes and forgeries of manuscript paintings in private hands.

In fourteen bold chapters accessible to both scholar and layperson, NazarethGate confirms that Jesus' hometown did not exist when the founder of Christianity allegedly walked on earth. This remarkable sequel to the author's 2008 groundbreaking book The Myth of Nazareth: The Invented Town of Jesus reviews critical recent developments on the ground NazarethGate chronicles in riveting detail how the failed field of New Testament Archeology is a toxic stew of competing agendas, as cynical excavators alter evidence and invent facts while promoting religious tourism in Israel and salvaging a grand hoax, "Jesus of Nazareth"-an iconic figure who probably never lived.

Perhaps no other book in the history of literature has been more misunderstood and misinterpreted than the Bible; one of the most legendary works of beguilement of all time. In failing to appreciate our rich heritage of fables and legends by our ancient ancestors, we have misunderstood their unique, creative way of trying to explain the mysteries of the natural world for which they had no ability to understand or comprehend within their time. Instead we found a way to turn this unique heritage into a frighteningly authoritative tool of power and control over others...religion.

A towering figure in the art world unravels the mystery of the world’s most controversial relic. The history of the Christian church is strewn with holy relics and artifacts, none more controversial than the Shroud of Turin, the supposed burial cloth of Christ. In The Holy Shroud Gary Vikan shows that the shroud is not the burial cloth of Jesus, but rather a photograph-like body print of a medieval Frenchman created by a brilliant artist serving the royal court in the time of the Black Death. It was gifted by King John II to his friend Geoffroi de Charny, the most renowned knight of the Middle Ages, who shortly thereafter died at the disastrous Battle of Poitiers while saving the King’s life. Though intended as nothing more than an innocuous devotional image for Geoffroi’s newly-built church in the French hamlet of Lirey, it was soon misrepresented. Miracles were faked, money was made.Combining copious research and decades of art world experience with an accessible, wry voice, Gary Vikan shows how one of the greatest hoaxes in the history of Christian relics came into being.

Man is made to adore and to obey, but if you do not command him, if you give him nothing to worship, he will fashion his own divinities and find his chieftain in his own passion. Religious faith has many manifestations. Look into religion very deeply; you see its manifestations. Many wars around the world are caused by religious doctrines, which leads to tyranny and genocide. There are important facts about religion, and understanding them is essential to handling them. It is very important to understand that religions are manmade affairs. Religions are at odds with what is happening in the world today and yesterday. Mixing religion with myths, coercive ideology is both a "human right" and fundamental civil liberty. Religion is a dream of the human mind. But even in dreams, we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of the simple daylight of reality and necessity.
