Jesus The Jew No One Knows (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615516332)

D.C. Smith is a former college professor with an intense love of history. Over the decades he has taught many different subjects, including philosophy, literature, rhetoric, religious history, labor union history (and law), plus creative and professional writing. In the early 1960s he attended Mt. San Antonio College, East Los Angeles College, CSULA, CSUF, and the University of Arizona. Not long thereafter he and his wife served in the Peace Corps before settling down to raise their family in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Since then he continued his academic pursuits at UCLA and Cornell University while working for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. This job introduced him to the world of rank-and-file politics, mostly as a community organizer speaking and writing on behalf of pro-union causes. He also served the union in other ways, including appointments as IBEW press secretary, managing editor of a quarterly magazine and lead instructor teaching labor organizations how to implement improvements in membership, education and training. During much of this time Smith taught classes at the following educational institutions: the University of El Salvador; Yuba College; Glendale College; Mt. San Antonio College; and California Polytechnic University. In the 1990s he partnered with show-business entrepreneurs to create SKS Publications. Together they researched, wrote and published a series of historical trivia for Barnes and Noble called BIRTHDAY GIFTBOOKS. Individual works include Layers of Lies, History's Most Famous (and infamous) Humans, "Shakespeare's Superman," "Rebutting the Gospel Hoax," and " Brotherhood Betrayed." More recently, he visited Qumran and several other important archeological sites with the distinguished author and educator, James Tabor. He then teamed up with the eminent historian, Robert Eisenman, to conduct tours of the Holy Land in cooperation with officials of the Israeli Antiquities Authority. Under the leadership of Dr. DeWayne Coxon they have all worked to restore the ancient city of Biblical Tamar located in the Negev Desert near the Dead Sea. It is an active dig going down ten layers from the Roman Period to the days of King Solomon. Professor Smith is also a member of the Biblical Archeology Society and the Society of Biblical Literature. He sits on the Board of the Institute of Anthropological Studies at Tamar Park and currently serves as West Coast Representative for Blossoming Rose.
