This is a new release of the original 1956 edition.

"An astounding revelation saved from the flames that burnt the Alexandrian Library, which the Roman Churchmen razed to the ground to destroy all records of the mystery man of Christianity, Apollonius of Tyana, the historical Christ and world teacher of the First Century, now revealed to the world for the first time. Proving that Apollonius of Tyana was the true founder of early Christianity and that the "Jesus Christ" of the New Testament had no existence except in the imagination of the Pagan Roman priests at Nicea, subsequently called the "Church Fathers," who invented him as a substitute for Apollonius, the true Christ."--Cover.

The author is highlighting the historical similarities of Apollonius of Tyana to Jesus of Nazareth. He asserts that while historical records exist for Apollonius, the only historical records for Jesus were of his disciples and in a much later time frame. While a jewish sorcerer existed according to the Talmud he lived about 100 years prior to the biblical record of Jesus of Nazareth. Argument can be drawn that when "Christianity" was patched together by Constantine the powers to be replaced the name and hence the life and deeds of Jesus are fictionalized events borrowed from the life and travels of Apollonius.
