Using the movie Zeitgeist as a springboard, examines the parallels between Old Testament patriarchs Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Makes the case for Josephus as the author of the New Testament, and for the OT as a reverse-engineered invention of the Roman Empire. Asks if the God referred to in the Bible describes Caesar.
