The Jesus Dynasty:The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity (Hardcover) by James D. Tabor |
|
|
|
|
|
Was Jesus conscious of his ministry? Was John the Baptist the teacher of Jesus or did they plan their ministry together? Was Mary a virgin or not? How many children did she have? Were the Herodians out to get Jesus and John from the beginning? How did the Temple authorities view Jesus? Were Jesus and John Essenes, or not? What is the Christian faith based upon, what Jesus taught according to the Gospels, or something else? The book, The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity answers many of these questions. At present the book is being translated into over twenty languages, among them, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, and Italian, spreading through this year and into 2007and it is no wonder, why! It's a great read! Listen an interview from the author...

What is the Kabba? what's inside? What are the practices of Islam? How many sects are there and how did they evolve? What is the Haj? What does the Quran really say? Who was Mohammed really? How do the Sunnis and Shittes differ? Where did the Sufi's come from and are they Gnostics? If you want to know all about the history of Islam... and why we are having problems all over the world today... this is the book. Aslan documents the development of Islam and its various sects including the Sufis and all other branches and deftly informs us of why the problems of today exist in detail. Highly readable and well written, this book contains information not easily found in any other book I have read. Islam is ".... the fastest-growing religion in the world but remains shrouded in ignorance and fear for much of the West. In No god but God, Reza Aslan, an internationally acclaimed scholar of religions, explains this faith in all its beauty and complexity...."
