A Documented Biography of Jesus Before Christianity (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781491775080)

From the author of the acclaimed historical novel, The Matthias Scroll, comes this nonfiction advance in Gospel interpretation. As fresh translations and undeniable inference open the Christianizing shells of lore and legend, a complete biography of Jesus emerges. For the first time, this penetrating study brings us together with the one so many have been seeking to know and appreciate as a human being.

Never considered possible, Epstein's critical analysis crosses seemingly insurmountable linguistic hurdles, solving millenia-old riddles about the historical Jesus. "With his arrest foreshadowed by formerly unknown circumstance," Epstein suggests, "most serious New Testament scholars are likely to be amazed by the facts surrounding his capture, crucifixion, and interment."
