Summary:
"
Rex
Weyler
sets out to uncover the mystery surrounding the historical Jesus, whose voice and words have been distorted by centuries of revision. By examining the research of international Biblical scholars and some 200 competing ancient sources, including the recent discovery of the extraordinary gospels of Thomas and Mary,
Weyler
recreates the life of Jesus and his legacy, from the Roman Empire to our present age, and offers a fresh and provocative view of Jesus' message and his mission."--BOOK JACKET.
