The Book That Jesus Wrote - Holy Bible Scripture for Christian Faith, Worship & Bible Study | Perfect for Home Church, Personal Devotion & Spiritual Growth

I am still starting with this one, my third (of the 4 or so of the 90's decade), and it starts out just great, in tone and in perspective, with Jesus himself, using a little bit of help from imagination of what it must have been like for him. Then proceeding with the story, and the challenge of how to write history of the Christian Church, using the 'double meaning' technique that the author has used to decipher the New Testament, and given to us/her in the Dead Sea Scrolls, called 'Pesher', which she explains in each of the three books, with new examples and insights. This time the perspective is from no one less than Jesus himself, which makes it very intriguing from the start, and gets us right down in the 'action', picking up the story line in a much more close-up and personal way than as where it was left off in the first book of the decade 'Jesus the man', pretty much like a novel. Of the three read sofar, it reads the best.What Dr. Thiering writes is very thought provoking and gives an insight to the actual events that occurred in the century before and after the birth of Jesus. What I especially enjoyed was the way she describes the genealogy from Heli through Jesus' son Jesus Justus. I disagree with Dr. Thiering on her claim that Jesus was born prematurely or was "illegitimate". The clan of the "All" (Heli-Joseph) followed the Jubilee Calendar that included a census when the year began during the Spring Equinox whereas the Pharisees (the clan of the Many) used a lunar calendar with the census being taken when their year begins during the Autumn Equinox. The dynastic marriage was not between Jesus and Mary Magdalene but between Joseph (All) and the Virgin Mary (Many).Dr Thiering pulls it all together in this, her third book on the secret code in the gospels and acts. Jesus emerges as a remarkable visionary, determined to bring monotheism to a pagan world by opening up judaism to gentiles. He succeeded of course - without miracles or rising from the dead (though he had a close brush with death in Qumran on the cross) - and the reality of the politics of the day leaps off the pages.Who would have thought that the bible would actually make sense? Dr Thiering's remarkable discovery of the secret code in the gospels, acts and revelation, bring the world of Jesus' time to life in a practical, sensible, manner which no-one expected would be possible.As long as you have an open mind, and you can cope with the technicalities involved here, you will never see Christianity from the same light again...Barbara Theiring has undertaken meticulous research and while traditional researchers may claim that her case is not proven the circumstantial and traditional evidence is so strong that she has provided the precise meaning underlying the New Testaments of the Christian faith. This book is not fiction. Nor does it devalue the Christian faith in my opinion. It shows that the gospels when interpreted using Dr Theiring knowledge of Judean history, give the history of the origins of the Christian Church from 100 BCE to 50 CE. Unfortunately religious organisations' continue to ignore her findings.' Is the Vatican there to protect the Church or to tell the truth?'Barbara Thiering's works have set me free. I've read many of her books. Although they're sometimes difficult to follow—the subject is often complicated by the times in which they're set and the extreme (Essene) orthodox Jewish customs, traditions, and rituals of those times. Thiering brings Jesus the man to life, presenting him squarely in the context in which he lived. Thiering's deeply researched works are all eye-openers, despite the fact (or maybe because of it) that her findings are disputed by religious leaders entrenched in various institutions of today's orthodox relgions. Feeling adventurous? Try a bit of Thiering.Great Price, Service and Quality. THank youIn her book, Jesus the Man, Thiering shows that Jesus survived his crucufiction and necessarily led from behind the scene. She argues that John Mark was the scribe for Jesus when he wrote the Gospel of John. Jesus was unable to write because his hands were crippled by the nails. Jesus and his son, Jesus Justus, traveled occasionally with the Apostles indicated only when "we" travelled was used in the Acts. Paul acknowledged Jesus Justus in the last chapter of his letter to the Colossians. Surprises abound in Thierings books.I bought the used paperback and yet still I love the contents of this book.Wow ! Really, well researched book. Iv not read the authors first two books in the series yet. Although, I'll be making a point of buying them now.Iv not been able to put this book down the depth of the research and explanation of the politics of the time, in this book, is so precise. Iv learned something huge ! It's groundbreaking !!Now I can read,my bible and understand it, with a more deep understanding of the parables and riddles it contains along with the politics and the historical chronology. Fascinating read, Definitely, recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the truth.Tripe.Frau Thiering analysiert akribisch mithilfe der den Schriftrollen des Toten Meers entnommenen Angaben und Regeln die Texte der Evangelien und Schriften des Neuen Testaments und zweier gnostischer Evangelien, woraus sich in detaillierter und umfassender Weise die politischen und religiösen Verhältnisse in Palästina im 1.Jahrhundert unserer Zeitrechnung und davor ergeben.Jesus war ein begabter und asketisch lebender Priester, dem aber bewusst war, dass er königlicher Abstammung, ein Erbe Davids, war, der verpflichtet war das Geschlecht weiterzuführen, sich zu verheiraten und Kinder zu zeugen, was er dann auch mit Maria Magdalena tat.Er wäre beinahe einer ueblen Intrige zum Opfer gefallen, aber seine Freunde und Mitstreiter retteten ihn und machten das Märchen vom "Tod" und der"Wiederauferstehung vomTod" obsolet. Solcher Tricks bedurfte er nicht! Mit Durchsetzungsvermögen und Überzeugungskraft schuf er die Grundlageneiner Religion, die sich vom Judentum trennte und für die Heiden (Griechen, Roemer u.a.) akzeptabel wurde. Sein Wirken war menschlich und "göttlich"zugleich, "göttlich" in dem Sinne, dass die anderen Menschen, denen er seine Lehre weitergab, ihn bewunderten und verehrten.Informaton
