JESUSGATE seeks to assess the “Jesusgate phenomenon”—the fact that Christian leaders,
by acts of both commission and omission, have seriously neglected their responsibility to share with the laity important information about the origins of Christianity and the Jesus tradition. As a result, there is a significant gap between what scholars know and what lay persons have been led to believe. Author Ernie Bringas explores how this information gap has affected the quality of life at personal, political, and scientific levels.
