Joseph is Dead: The Untold Story of Jesus' Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692818510)

Family was more important to Jesus than you think. Discover the hidden narrative throughout the Gospels that was lost in translation... until now.

"A sweeping story of family, political and social struggle, and death and redemption that embodies the very message of Christian faith." (Midwest Book Review)

Jesus' family played an important role in his ministry, death, and resurrection. This narrative is often missed because of translation misunderstandings from the original Greek. Let D. Paul Schulz fill in these critical gaps to broaden your understanding of Jesus' life.

While many Christians think they know about the life of Jesus, few realize the less obvious--and rarely discussed--family ties woven throughout his ministry. For example, Mary didn't plan on having baby Jesus in a stable but with family living close by. When you learn the meaning and context of these family connections and how they motivated Jesus, you'll add new depth and vibrancy to your understanding of the Gospels.

In Joseph is Dead, you'll discover:

- The true sequence of events between Jesus' birth and the arrival of the Wise Men

- The role that Joseph and his family played in the unrecorded "silent years"

- What could have motivated Judas to betray Jesus in the way he did

- New meaning behind Jesus' appearance to Mary Magdalene and the Apostle Peter that provides greater comprehension of the Easter story

- Why Jesus was rejected by his hometown of Nazareth, and much, much more

Joseph is Dead uses biblical scholarship and insightful psychoanalysis to help draw conclusions about how Jesus' life relates to ours today. If you like boldly written Christian scholarship that's deeply insightful and accessible to the armchair reader, then you'll love D. Paul Schulz's revolutionary new book.
