About the Book:
THIS REVOLUTIONARY BIOGRAPHY OF THE YOUNG JESUS OFFERS A NUMBER OF STARTLING REVELATIONS:
- The high incidence of disease in the Gospels actually reflects a pandemic spread of malnutrition in Jesus’s time as a result of Roman and Herodian oppression.
- Jesus’s mysterious healing abilities can now be explained in the context of ancient health practices and modern medical science.
- Jesus’s ‘Kingdom of God’ program aimed to restore the ancient socio-religious village culture of the Galilean peasantry, steadily being torn asunder by the misrule of Herod the Great and his son Antipas.
- Contrary to what the Gospels may argue, the Jews bear no guilt for the murder of Jesus. Those responsible for Jesus’s arrest and execution were Pilate and Caiaphas, colluding together.
