Synopsis

In this scholarly yet readable book Schonfield tries to unravel the mysteries behind the development of early Christianity in the thirty years between the crucifixion of Jesus and the Fall of Jerusalem.

It builds on the famous work 'The Passover Plot' by the same author. It is a companion reader also to 'Those Incredible Christians' and 'The Politics of God' and provides challenging insights into a world we thought we understood.

We discover a movement amongst Jewish people of the time who were not concerned with establishing a new religion but rather with a new social order - a new Israel.

Thus the writer lifts this early Nazorean group out of the context of Roman Christianity and clears the path for a fresh look at the meaning of the Messianic message.

About this title

About the Author

Hugh J. Schonfield wrote over 40 books including commercially successful books in the fields of history and biography as well as religion. In 1958 his non-ecclesiastical historical translation of the New Testament was published in the UK and the US, titled The Authentic New Testament. This aimed to show without idealised interpretation the meaning intended by the writers while maintaining the original structures. A revised version appeared in 1985 titled The Original New Testament.
