The ‘Mahayana origins of Christianity’ is arguably the greatest unresolved controversy in all of history.

A labyrinth of hundreds of entangled books from five different libraries—the Pali Canon, Mahayana corpus, New Testament, Apocrypha, and Monastic codes. Using the lamps of the seven anomalies, this book will guide the reader through the marshes of intertextuality and its quagmires of controversy.
