This is Schonfield's last book and third biography of Jesus. It
brings over sixty years of his research into the life of Jesus full
circle. Written in his usual lucid style and permeated throughout
by deep sincerity and love of his subject, this book not only
places Jesus firmly among his own people and background, thereby
clarifying his actual religious beliefs, but also summarises the
essence of our knowledge of the Gospel sources. It explains the
meaning of the terms 'Messiah' and 'Messianic', discusses the
authorship of St John's Gospel, the term 'Son of Man', and above
all shows up obvious interpolations and falsifications in the
Gospels. For Schonfield fans this book also contains hitherto
unpublished details of the author's own life, revealing how, as a
Jew, he discovered Jesus.
The author provides evidence that Paul was not, as Christians
claim, the founder of a new religion, but a Jewish mystic who
believed in the coming of the Messiah, whom he saw in Jesus.
The author clarifies the meaning of the terms Messiah and Messianic
and in the process places Jesus firmly among his own people and
background. Recognition is given to the unique moral concepts of
biblical teaching, from which Schonfield deduces a path to their
universal implementation.
