Robert Graves and Joshua Podro maintain that Jesus, though officially crucified in A.D. 30, escaped alive, probably to Parthia, and in A.D. 35 was seen on the road to Damascus by St. Paul - who had been sent there to bring Him back for a second Crucifixion. What eventually became of Jesus, they leave an open question; critically discussing Moslem and pre-Moslem accounts of His appearance in India, about A.D. 50, and of His burial by St. Thomas at Sringar not later than the year A.D. 72.
