Based on a careful analysis of the earliest Christian documents and recent archaeological discoveries, THE JESUS DYNSASTY offers a bold new interpretation of the life of Jesus and the origins of Christianity. The story is surprising, controversial, and exciting as only a long-lost history can be when it is a last recovered.
In THE JESUS DYNASTY, biblical scholar James Tabor brings us closer then ever to the historical Jesus. Jesus, as we know, was son of Mary, a young woman who became pregnant before her marriage to a man named Joseph. The gospels tell us that Jesus had four brothers and two sisters, all of whom probably had a different father than his. He joined a messianic movement begun by his relative John the Baptizer, whom he regarded as his teacher and a great prophet. John and Jesus filled the roles of the Two Messiahs who were expected at the time: John, as a priestly descendant of Aaron, and Jesus, and a royal descendent of David. Together they reached the coming of the Kingdom of God. Theirs was an apocalyptic movement that expected God to establish his kingdom on earth , as described be the Prophets. The Two Messiahs lived in a time of turmoil as the historical land of Israel was dominated by the powerful Roman Empire. Fierce Jewish rebellions against Rome occurred during Jesus´ lifetime.
