For centuries, legends have traced Jesus far beyond the canonical gospels, suggesting journeys to distant lands, encounters with sages, and even a final resting place in the East. But how much of this is history, and how much is imagination?\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eJesus in India, Kashmir and Tibet: Folklore, Fantasy or Fact?\u003c\/i\u003e, Marcelo Ponte takes readers on a journey through myth, manuscript, and shrine, examining claims that have captured the imagination of scholars, pilgrims, and spiritual seekers alike. With clarity, dry humor, and a grounded, sociological lens, Ponte explores the \"lost years\" of Jesus, the colonial fascination with the East, Islamic and local Kashmiri traditions, and the ways modern spiritual movements repurpose these stories to construct authority and identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not a book of speculation. It is an investigation into human behavior, belief, and the enduring desire to see the sacred wander beyond its historical boundaries. Ponte challenges readers to distinguish fact from folklore, while revealing why the legend of an Eastward Jesus continues to resonate in a world hungry for meaning, mystery, and moral exemplars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernan Vargas,Marcelo Ponte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798245507323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Fernan Vargas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659724534015,"sku":"9798245507323","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-in-india-kashmir-and-fernan-vargas-9798245507323","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
