The
Jewish Gospels by Daniël Boyarin.
In July 2008 a front-page story in the New York Times reported on the discovery of an ancient Hebrew tablet dating from before the birth of Jesus which predicted a messiah who would rise from the dead after three days.
Commenting on this startling discovery at the time Talmud scholar Daniel Boyarin argued that some Christians will find it shocking: a challenge to the uniqueness of their theology.
Guiding us through a rich tapestry of New Discoveries & Ancient Scriptures, The Jewish Gospels makes the powerful case that our conventional understandings of Jesus & of the origins of Christianity are wrong.
In Boyarins scrupulously illustrated account, the coming of the messiah was fully Imagined in ancient Jewish texts. Jesus, moreover was embraced by many Jews, as this person, and his core teachings were not at all a break from Jewish beliefs & teachings. Jesus and his followers, DB shows, were simply Jewish!
What came to be known as Christianity, came much later, as religious & political teachers sought to Impose a new religious Orthodoxy that was NOT present at the time of Jesus' life!
In the vain of Elaine Pagel's The Gnostic Gospels, here is a brilliant new work, that will break open some of our culture's most cherished assumptions!
