ISBN 978-0691148052 "Peter Jensen, professor at the University of Marburg, published a pamphlet in 1909 asserting that Moses, Jesus and Paul were three variants of Babylonian divinities. A year later he published another pamphlet, questioning the reliability of sources for Jesus's life as related in the gospels, and suggesting it was contrived along the lines of hero myths such as the Gilgamesh epic."
