Art/Literary - Religion
Spanish term or phrase: tardía y tendenciosa
Esta “reconstrucción” es un benéfico antídoto a la continua “desconstrucción” del Jesús histórico, que no es sólo memoria de la investigación racionalista académica, sino también una actual reproposición en Internet de la tesis sobre la creación tardía y tendenciosa de la “historia de Jesús”.

English translation:belated and tendentious
Explanation:
I think the literal translation works fine here, the idea being that the story of Christ appeared later in history than would be expected and "calculated to promote a particular cause or point of view" (Oxford English).
