Opis

This book solves the greatest mystery of all time: where did the story of Jesus really come from? The Gospel of Mark is the earliest account of Jesus. What if the Gospel is a myth of the messiah? This view would change everything. What is the "secret of the savior"? It is that God is the savior. Jesus is a symbol of salvation and stands for the process of God saving us. Jesus is identified with a series of savior figures from Joshua to David to the Teacher of Righteousness--who founded the Essenes, the ancient Jewish sect who wrote the Dead Sea Scroll--to Rabbi Johanan Ben Zakkai, the founder of Rabbinic Judaism, and many others. The Gospel of Mark is ultimately an ingenious myth about the history of salvation in Israel. Secret of the Savior unearths the hidden history buried beneath the surface in this world-changing gospel.
