Book Reviews of The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity
Book Review: "There Is No Virgin Birth Or Resurrection In The True Historical Jesus & His Family Story".
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an astonishing monograph about Jesus, who he was, what he stood for & who were his family. Professor James D. Tabor manages this successfully through careful dissection of New Testament Gospels (NT) & relevent Old Testament scriptures. One is amazed as to how much the NT gives out/away without noticing about the true Jesus & his true mission. If you thought everything you read in the "good book" were true, this book will make your head spin because sometimes the truth hurts! The Gospel book of Mark, the first Gospel to be written has no virgin birth. Professor James D. Tabor makes a great arguement that Maria was either impregnated by The High Priest (one of his well known official duties during that era was to initiate virgins before they were married!) or by the Roman soldier, Panthera. We may never know for sure, but professor James D. Tabor insists Jesus had a human father, period! The original book of Mark surprisingly ends with an empty tomb! Apostle Paul made up the "Resurrection Of Jesus Story" & made it very popular as we know now, professor James D. Tabor argues. This excellent book should form a solid basis to everyone who truly want to know the true story encoded in the NT about Jesus, his family & his teachings! The true historical Jesus was an Apocalyptic Messiah (together with his Master & close relative John, the Baptizer) who thought (through their thorough study of the Old Testament prophets, especially Daniel) "the end of days" was near when God would liberate the Israelites from The Romans (Oppressors) & establish His Kingdom on earth Himself as Old Testament prophets predicted! ('End of days' / the 'Seventy Weeks' prediction / prophecy in the book of Daniel). That's why Jesus as he died on the Cross (as he saw things were not going according Plan/"The Book Of Daniel"/Old Testament Scriptures), he cried out in a very loud voice, "My LORD, my LORD, why have You forsaken me?!" Professor James D. Tabor is quite thorough, well balanced & more than qualified (the book was 40 years in the making!) to tackle this controversial and provocative issue. This book deserves more than five stars as it adds significant knowledge on the true historical Jesus & his family! A highly recommended reading!
