La dinastia di Gesù. La storia segreta di Gesù, della sua famiglia reale e la nascita del cristianesimo

Before saying anything else, I must say that this book has absolutely nothing to do with the inane ideas that Jesus survived his crucifixion, married Mary Magdalene, moved to France, and had children whose descendants are alive even today. There is nothing in this book remotely similar to the ideas

أريد الكتابة الآن قبل أن أتخلص من تأثير الانطباع الأول .. وكدت أن أعتبرها أمرًا مسرفًا في التقليدية، أو ربما حتى سوء أدب من المترجم!، رغم أني أحب المترجم سهيل زكار كثيرًا وأقدّره تقديرًا جمّا؛ أتحدث عن المقدمة!، فاسم الكتاب الذي قام بترجمته (سلالة يسوع: أسرة يسوع الحاكمة)، ابتدأ سهيل زكار المقدمة بقو Leggi tutto

Jesus thought he was a fulfillment of prophecy and thought he was specially chosen to lead a revolution against the oppressors of the Jews, and his family after his death carried on that mission. Paul had a vision that told him differently. Paul’s version became heterodox, and Mary’s other sons got Leggi tutto

I liked the history and research. It gave a lot to think about. New discoveries are still being made and we can be sure that no matter what is discovered a lot will still be a mystery. I feel I’m a better Christian for having read this.

Having been raised a Christian, a religious concept I rejected pretty early on, I have a particular fondness for the historical Jesus. During my years in college I did a lot of reading on this subject so, when I came across The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Bi Leggi tutto

I have been looking for a book like this one for over twenty years, an account free of religious doctrine of the historical Jesus and the earliest days of Christianity. Given the relatively scant amount of evidence available, I can't say that I believe Dr. Tabor has provided a history that is defini Leggi tutto

It is difficult to find good material on the history of Jesus that is not laced with didactic case-making or atheistic case-breaking. James Tabor, however, present the what mankind knows about 1st Century Israel and the life of Jesus from a scholarly perspective based on archaeological data and not

I borrowed a copy of this book out from my local library. This book was so cool to read. I loved how the author used more sources than just the Gospels, outside sources, and explained things in a cultural perspective. This year I have tried and tried to sit down and read the Bible, even a little a da Leggi tutto

剛開始閱讀本書的前兩章，其實我是有些「不耐煩」的。因為作者在講述他在巴勒斯坦一帶作考古挖掘，但描寫筆法相當冗長累贅——我並不在乎你找的某位仁兄先前講了一堆話、接著不久之後他又講了相反的一堆話，光講結論不行嗎？由於激不起我的同理心，所以作者偶爾抒發他身於某個基督教聖經地點的思古幽情，我都是隨便瀏覽而過。直到第一卷的末期開始，才終於讓我讀出趣味來了。我對本書的定位︰《基督教聖經》文獻考古與辨正。 《耶穌的真實王朝》由 James D. Tabor 所作，先前我讀過他的另一本作品《保羅與耶穌》（貓頭鷹中譯）。基本上 Tabor 的專長，在於重建基督教徒（耶路撒冷時代至羅馬時代）的行為與其文獻上的演變過 Leggi tutto

The Jesus Dynasty by James D. Tabor, religion professor at University of North Carolina, is a fascinating, eye-opening book about the life of Jesus and what we can glean about his true teachings from specific books in the Bible. Tabor follows Jesus as he becomes an apocalyptic preacher in a movement Leggi tutto
