In The Authentic Gospel of Jesus, renowned biblical scholar Geza
Vermes distils a lifetime's knowledge to examine every saying
attributed to Jesus and return to the true teachings of the man
behind the messiah. Who was the real Jesus? What was the original
message of the charismatic Jewish healer and moralist who changed
the world? There can be no doubt that Jesus, 'a religious genius'
as Geza Vermes describes him, lived and taught in Palestine some
2000 years ago. The influence he has had is incalculable. How
though can we distinguish between the doctrines shaped to the needs
of the burgeoning Christian church and the original views laid out
by Jesus himself? How can we dig back through the additions,
misinterpretations and confusions of later writers and two
millennia of tradition to get back to the authentic gospel of
Jesus? In The Authentic Gospel of Jesus, Vermes subjects all the
sayings of Jesus to brilliantly informed scrutiny. The result is a
book of unique value and novelty -scraping aside the accretions of
centuries to come as close as we can hope to be to the true Jesus.
'The greatest Jesus scholar of his generation' Sunday Telegraph 'A
pleasure to read from cover to cover' Literary Review 'One of the
most commonsensical, wise books on the Bible ever published. Nobody
can fail to be impressed by the magisterial scholarship and
knowledge' Daily Express 'Vermes has made his fine scholarship
wonderfully accessible to the general reader' Karen Armstrong,
Sunday Times 'A truly fascinating book' Independent on Sunday Geza
Vermes is director of the Forum for Qumran Research at the Oxford
Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies. His books, published by
Penguin, include The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English, The
Story of the Scrolls and The Changing Faces of Jesus as well as the
'Jesus' trilogy: Nativity, Passion and Resurrection.
