The works of J. J. Benítez encompass literature and journalism, as well as UFO investigations. Primarily renowned as an investigator of the paranormal, Benítez garnered attention and criticism when he released Jerusalén, the first volume of a series named Caballo de Troya, related to the life and death of Jesus Christ.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of works by J. J. Benítez” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1966, 1965, 1975, 2007—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where List, works and Benítez can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6645770. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1966, 1965, 1975 and 2007.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
