Ever since a momentous moment in the Garden of Gethsemane in his teens, Professor James Tabor has devoted his life to gathering archaeological and scientific evidence indicating what the life and teachings of Jesus may really have been like. In this utterly absorbing book he shares, with great honesty and integrity, what he has found. His discoveries raise important questions about what Jesus’s mission truly was, and the role played in it by John the Baptist and Jesus’s brother James, both of whom seem to be somewhat marginalised in the Bible as we know it. Tabor also asks what happened to write out Jesus’ family from the Bible? What is the historical truth behind Mary and her portrayal as Jesus’ virgin mother? What was the real significance of John the Baptist to the Jesus dynasty? And why did the gospel of dissident follower Paul have a more lasting effect on Christianity than Jesus himself? At the end of the book, he gives a summary of the essence of Jesus’s original teachings, showing how an understanding of the Jesus dynasty can offer new avenues of understanding between Jews, Christians and Muslims. This is truly a book whose time has come.
