The questions surrounding the life of the man called Jesus have been the basis of heated debate and controversy for
centuries. The Jesus myth is still a hot topic today. The Gospel of Mark is the earliest account of Jesus. What if the
Gospel is a myth of the messiah? Sid Martin, religious researcher and author of a book entitled 'Secret Of The Savior',
believes that is the case. His book puts forth the idea that that God is the Savior and that Jesus is a symbol of salvation
who stands for the process of God saving Israel.

"I wrote this book," Martin stated, "to reveal where the story of Jesus really comes from. For too long, scholars have tried
to recover the historical Jesus, to separate the Jesus of history from the Christ of faith. My analysis of the Gospel of Mark,
the earliest Gospel written, demonstrates that Jesus is a composite character. He stands for a series of savior figures
from Joshua to David to the Teacher of Righteousness, and many others after that. There are many historical Jesuses,
not just one. People need to know that."

Sid Martin is a religious researcher with a master of theological studies degree in Biblical studies from Phillips Theological
Seminary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is also a practicing attorney who specializes in legal research and writing. His view of
the Jesus myth is that Jesus is identified with a series of savior figures from Joshua to David to the Teacher of
Righteousnesswho founded the Essenes, the ancient Jewish sect who wrote the Dead Sea Scrollto Rabbi Johanan
Ben Zakkai, the founder of Rabbinic Judaism, and many others. The Gospel of Mark is ultimately an ingenious myth about
the history of salvation in Israel. 'Secret of the Savior' unearths the hidden history buried beneath the surface in this world-
changing gospel.

"A person who reads this book," Martin continued, "will come away with an understanding of the origins of the Christian
religion. The reader will come to appreciate the true meaning of Marks Gospel. Marks message is that God has saved
his people and will do so again. Jesus is a symbol of salvation. The story of Jesus embodies the history of salvation.
Every person can be an instrument of salvation, a Jesus for our time."
