Determined to rewrite the Bible

From a report at the link below:

A Swedish theologian says that despite the crucifix's proliferation in art and literature, there is scant evidence in the Bible or other ancient sources to indicate that Christ was killed on a cross.

The theologian, Gunnar Samuelsson, did his research while working on his 400-page doctoral thesis "Crucifixion in Antiquity."

Samuelsson is not alone. The History Channel has also been hard at work rewriting the Bible.

In one example the History Channel proclaimed that Jesus was married and had children. They even tried to track his descendants. This was said to an ignoble pursuit by many Bible scholars.

The sans cross crucifixion of Christ story is here.
