520    Caesar's Messiah, a real life Da Vinci Code, presents the 
       dramatic and controversial discovery that the conventional
       views of Christian origins may be wrong. Author Joseph 
       Atwill makes the case that the Christian Gospels were 
       actually written under the direction of first-century 
       Roman emperors. The purpose of these texts was to 
       establish a peaceful Jewish sect to counterbalance the 
       militaristic Jewish forces that had just been defeated by 
       the Roman Emperor Titus in 70 A.D. Atwill uncovered the 
       secret key to this story in the writings of Josephus, the 
       famed first-century Roman historian. Reading Josephus's 
       chronicle, The War of the Jews, the author found detail 
       after detail that closely paralleled events recounted in 
       the Gospels. Atwill skillfully demonstrates that the 
       emperors used the Gospels to spark a new religious 
       movement that would aid them in maintaining power and 
       order. What's more, by including hidden literary clues, 
       they took the story of the Emperor Titus's glorious 
       military victory, as recounted by Josephus, and embedded 
       that story in the Gospels - a sly and satirical way of 
       glorifying the emperors through the ages
