Publisher's summary

Over the centuries, the claim has repeatedly been made that Jesus Christ not only walked the earth, but also spent his early and post-crucifixion years in a variety of places, including Egypt, India, Great Britain, Japan, and America. Indeed, traditions maintain that Jesus, the great God-man of the West, lived, learned, loved, and died in such places. Popular modern literature also purports that Jesus sired children who then became the ancestors of various royal families of Europe, including France and/or elsewhere, depending on the author.

The allegation of Christ being a kingly progenitor is extremely convenient and useful for European royal families, obviously. Unfortunately for the European claimants, however, India also has a tradition that Jesus went there and likewise fathered children. So, too, does Shingo, Japan, allege that Jesus ended up there after the crucifixion, having children with a Japanese wife. Other tales depict Jesus “walking the Americas” or bopping about Glastonbury, England, with his “uncle”, Joseph of Arimathea. Not all of these tales can be true, obviously, unless Jesus is polymorphous and phantasmagoric, a perspective that in reality represents that of the mythologist or mythicist. To wit, regardless of these fables, or rather, because of them, the most reasonable conclusion regarding Jesus and where he may or may not have been is that he is a mythical character, not a historical personage who trotted the globe.

Irritating

The book is full of repetitive phrases like “peace be upon him” that are said so repeatedly it became so irritating I had to stop listening.

Wrong Title, Poor Research,

Sets out noble purpose in introduction, then destroys his own purpose, due to his own beliefs that Buddhists and Hindus were "pagans."
Says Jesus was, really, the first Mohammedan.

Utter bollocks. Zero stars

Take a ridiculous premise, redefine key words, build assumptions based on these, and you’ll have a comparable idea. The author claims to be the true Messiah, if that gives you any clue to the narrative. It is not about Jesus in India so much as a Muslim effort to convince you of the falsehood of Christianity so that you will accept Islam.
