This scholarly work seeks to strip away centuries of interpretation and tradition, offering readers a clearer understanding of the historical Jesus and his message.
The Story
Vermes meticulously examines the contexts in which Jesus lived, drawing from a wealth of ancient texts and archaeological findings. He reveals the profound Jewish roots of Jesus’ teachings, highlighting how they resonate with the socio-political landscape of first-century Palestine. Through this lens, readers are invited to reconsider familiar narratives, exploring the authenticity of the Gospel accounts and their implications for modern faith.

Fans of Vermes’ other works, such as Jesus the Jew and The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English, will find this book a compelling addition to their exploration of biblical scholarship.
“A brilliant synthesis of historical detail and theological insight, Vermes invites us to see Jesus as he truly was.”
