Download or read book Jesus written by Chris Albert Wells and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrigue. Politics. Lies. Power struggle. Sound like a thriller? It's the Bible. In Jesus: God, Man or Party Label?, Chris Albert Wells argues that the interpretation of the Gospels we have been taught as Truth ignores a bitter battle of intra-community conflicts and strategies. To discover the nature of the initial split, Wells encourages us to give a new look at the Essene Dead Sea Scroll Messiahs and then to Northern Syria, where the first Gospels were written in a community called Essene before being called Christian. The reader will discover here the background that ultimately produced the Gospels and what they really meant to those who wrote them. Within this community context, Jesus will be just as alien to established Church traditions as to modern historical portrayals or mythical castings forwarded by scholarly textual criticism. Wells challenges us to question everything we have been told, and to understand the story of Jesus in an entirely new light. Chris Albert Wells is a university teacher, professor of surgery and presently lives on the French Riviera. Publisher's website: http: //www.eloquentbooks.com/Jesus-GodManOrPartyLabel.html

Download or read book Unveiling the Messiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls written by Margaret S. King and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-01-20 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is convinced that the early Byzantine Church deliberately cut out sections from an historic text to conceal the truth about the crucifixion of a man they were promoting as their Messiah. She solves the mystery by reconstructing the deleted sections. King pieces together what happened in Jerusalem during the trial and attempted crucifixion of the real Messiah and shows that the key passages that were tampered with are actually the missing link that connects the Dead Sea Scrolls to the New Testament Gospels. Using those passags and the history of the period, she identifies the figures mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Download or read book The Scepter and the Star written by John Joseph Collins and published by Anchor Bible. This book was released on 1995 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Scepter and the Star, John J. Collins turns to the Dead Sea Scrolls to shed new light on the origins, meaning, and relevance of messianic expectations. The first Christians were Jews who believed that Jesus of Nazareth was the messiah - the Christ; Christians could be called "followers of the messiah." Other Jews did not accept this claim, and so the Christians went their own way and grew into a separate religion. The disagreement about the identity of the messiah is the root difference between Judaism and Christianity." "The recent disclosure of the full corpus of the Dead Sea Scrolls now makes it possible to see this disagreement in a fuller context than ever before. The most stunning revelation of the new evidence is the diversity of messianic expectations in Judaism around the beginning of the common era. The Hebrew word "messiah" means "anointed one." According to the scrolls, the messiah could be a warrior king in the line of David, a priest, a prophet, or a teacher. He could be called "the Son of God." Jesus of Nazareth fitted the expectations some Jews of the time had of the messiah. The majority of Jews, however, had quite different expectations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: (Please Note: This is the Black and White Version. Colour is also available) Did God encode the identity of the Messiah within the names and events recorded in the Old Testament? Did he also bypass the understanding of the Old Testament authors and place the identity of the Messiah within the ancient Hebrew Pictographs in such a way that the message could only be accomplished by a Divine hand? This book reveals God as the author of the Old Testament with stunning evidence that only the most die hard sceptic will deny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of the Qumran community on the early Christian Church has become a matter of vital concern for the teacher of New Testament literature. In assessing the similarities between the Qumran and early Christian communities, the author examines the theme of redemption, one that is central to the two literatures. In this context she studies the messianic figures common to both sects, the idea of afterlife, and the ceremonial rites of the Qumran. This well-balanced comparison of the two communities is a substantial contribution to the general appraisal value of the scrolls.
