If you watch the documentaries, you'll see that some books rejected have feminist undertone. Of course, they have been rejected because they were too revolutionary for the time.

Interestingly Jesus wasn't the only Messiah back then, there were dozens of them with followers, certainly several that were crucified. At least two with a Resurrection story. Jesus wasn't the first.
