When the disciples glorified Jesus' crucifixion, Matthias swore their Gospels would not bury his friend beneath the cornerstone of their new religion. As Jesus' companion for that last, fateful year (Acts I:21), he could not celebrate his death as a model of salvation. Instead, he would write a scroll telling what actually happened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormatted as a suspenseful novel, The Matthias Scroll reveals hitherto unknown events leading to his arrest, crucifixion, and fully illuminating what happened during and after his interment. Exposed by fresh translations, recovered pearls of verifiable history are strung together, leading to a portrait of Jesus never before suspected. Against a background enlivened by sights and sounds of the Galilee, as well as Temple festivities in Jerusalem, the reader will meet many colorful New Testament characters, joining Jesus and the disciples in the epic drama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Shaped with a deep sense of the history, this controversial but fascinating work offers a vivid portrayal of Jesus as a respected teacher of his generation, at the moment when Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity were born.\"--Dr. Michael Berenbaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abram Epstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1491733497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491733493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Abram Epstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48439406133503,"sku":"9781491733493","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1683564-cab3-4c90-b75c-36516031253a.jpg?v=1777177439","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-matthias-scroll-abram-epstein-9781491733493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
