Arthur Heulhard

Arthur Heulhard (May 11, 1849 – January 2, 1920) was a French journalist and writer, best known as an advocate of the Christ myth theory.

Heulhard was born in Lormes. He was the author of ''Le Mensonge Chrétien'', a series of eleven volumes declaring Jesus had no historical existence. According to Heulhard it was Barabbas who was crucifixed by Pontius Pilate and Christians actually worship Barabbas under the name Jesus, an imaginary person invented by the early Church. Heulhard gained a follower, the French scholar Daniel Massé who supported his thesis and authored a book on the subject.

He was a member of the Fourchette Harmonique Club of Bibliophiles and wrote for the ''L'art Musical and La France Chorale''. Provided by Wikipedia
