Jesus the Man: Unveiling the True Story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene - Historical Christian Book for Bible Study & Spiritual Enlightenment

Barbara Thiering has been marginalized by the traditional Biblical and Dead Sea Scroll scholars because she dares to fill in the missing spaces in the history of the Essenes. Where others only ask questions or avoid discussing issues that are contrary to accepted dogma, she brings to life the history of the times in which the Christian church was born. The logical assumption that Jesus was a man who was involved in the political as well as the spiritual issues of his time is validated by even a cursory knowledge of human nature. A mystic wandering the wilderness of biblical Palestine would not have attracted as much attention as a man who was involved in the social changes that were taking place at the time. The fact that his followers also had personalities and were involved in social / political issues is also overlooked by many Biblical scholars. The people involved in the ministry of Jesus were not mythological beings; they were real people whose lives also had an impact on the times. The relationship between Jesus and those who ruled ruled Palestine is also revealed in real-life terms, not in mystical suppositions.In short, a knowledge of the Essene organization and the political structure of Roman dominated Palestine is essential to an understanding of the roots of Christianity and no-one does it better than Prof Thiering.
