THE MISSING FAMILY OF JESUS Tobias Churton
The Missing Family of Jesus is a quest to discover all that is to be found about Jesus’ family background, parentage and siblings and the possibility of his having descendants. Tobias Churton explains that Romanised Christianity obscured the historical facts about early Christianity, so that Jesus became the only son of God and the product of a virgin birth, to avoid the taint of original sin. Siblings were written out of history to prevent them from muddying the theological waters. Tobias’s investigation is based on a range of sources: the canonical evidence (Gospels and Epistles), apocryphal evidence including the Gnostic gospels, works of early Christianity (including the Dead Sea Scrolls), and myths and legends about ‘heirs’. Join him on what turns out to be a very surprising adventure.
‘I thought I was looking for the historical family of Jesus; what I found was the elusive historical Jesus as well.’ Tobias Churton
