The revolutionary book that will change the way you think about Christianity.

How is it possible for Jesus to be the Son of God? Why is it that only Christianity has a founder who is also the subject of the religion? And if Jesus were really a peasant preacher from Galilee, then why do all the earliest sources speak of him as the divine savior and as God himself?

Conventional scholars, locked into the failed paradigm of the historical Jesus, have no answers to these questions. This book develops a radical new approach by looking at how new religions form. The typical pattern...

Through the years, our understanding of Jesus has been shaped by different cultural influences, and many Christians have forgotten that Jesus was a Jewish man living in a Jewish land, observing Jewish customs, and investing his life into Jewish men and women.

By uncovering the teaching of the first and...

This book offers an original interpretation of the origin and early reception of the most fundamental claim of Christianity: Jesus resurrection. Richard Miller contends that the earliest Christians would not have considered the New Testament accounts of Jesus resurrection to be literal or historical, but instead would have recognized this narrative as an instance of the trope of divine translation, common within the Hellenistic and Roman mythic traditions. Given this framework, Miller argues, early Christians would have understood the resurrection story as fictitious rather than historical...

Geza Vermes is a household name within the study of the historical Jesus, and his work is associated with a significant change within mainstream Jesus research, typically labelled 'the third quest'. Since the publication of Jesus the Jew in 1973, many notable Jesus scholars have interacted with Vermes's ideas and suggestions, yet their assessments have so far remained brief and ambiguous. Hilde Brekke Moller explores the true impact of Vermes's Jesus research on the perceived change within Jesus research in the 1980s, and also within third quest Jesus research, by examining Vermes's work...
