Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of early Christianity, exploring the controversial topic of Jesus's historical existence. The author meticulously examines various sources, including Jewish and Roman writings, to assess the evidence for and against the traditional view of Jesus as a historical figure. The investigation begins by considering the curious silence of prominent Jewish writers like Philo and Justus of Tiberias, who lived around the time of Jesus but made no mention of him or his followers. The analysis then turns to the works of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, whose references to Jesus are scrutinized for authenticity and potential bias. Delving further into Jewish perspectives, the author explores the Talmud, a collection of Rabbinical writings, and finds that its references to Jesus are often cryptic, caricatured, and lack historical weight. The book then shifts its focus to Roman sources, such as Pliny the Younger and Tacitus, examining the limited and often ambiguous information they provide about early Christians and their beliefs. Through this comprehensive examination of historical sources, the author challenges the conventional narrative surrounding Jesus's existence, raising thought-provoking questions about the origins and development of Christianity. This book's insights offer a fresh perspective on a pivotal figure in history and invite readers to reconsider the foundations of their own beliefs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
