I thought I'd written a review of this already. Highly not recommended. Read something like 'Jesus and the Gospels' or Legendary Jesus' instead.

This book gives an idea of the interpretation of Bible texts and how they should be read.
I do not agree with the author on all points such as calling Christianity a cult, that none of the gospels were written within the lifetime of those that knew Jesus and that the Bible is full of errors but contains enough truth to get a person to heaven.
But I did find some of what Burton said interesting and new to me..
I was given this book by Netgalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary and impartial review.
