The Authentic Gospel of Jesus Paperback / softback - 2005
by Dr Geza Vermes
- New
- Paperback
In his new book, acclaimed religious scholar Geza Vermes subjects all the sayings of Jesus to brilliantly informed scrutiny. Profoundly aware of the limits of our knowledge but immersed in what we do have both the 'official' gospels and associated Jewish and early Christian texts Vermes sieves through every quote ascribed to Jesus to let the reader get as close as possible to the charismatic Jewish healer and moralist who changed the world. The result is a book that creates a revolutionary and unexpected picture of Jesus scraping aside the accretions of centuries to approach as close as we can hope to his true teaching.
