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
