Publisher's Synopsis
Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad are the primary sources of information and are the windows through which the children of Abraham (in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) see God, learn, and reflect.
This book tries to separate fact from fiction in dealing with the birth, life, mission, and death of Jesus of Nazareth, the great prophet and Messiah.
Based on first-hand knowledge by arranging dozens of lectures, dialogues, and debates, the author skillfully navigates what historians said about Jesus, and what the New Testament and the Quran also said about Jesus. Most importantly, how did Jesus, his contemporaries, and his disciples view his mission on Earth? The book also tracks the new discoveries that came to light, within the last century, about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Gospel of Thomas, the Jesus Seminar, and the Gospel of Jesus's wife.
The book documents the story of the Talpiot Tomb discovered in March 1980 outside Jerusalem. The tomb was proved to belong to the second temple period (538 BC-70 CE). The book also investigates the claim by James Cameron and Simcha Jacobovici that this tomb contained the remains of Jesus and Mary Magdalene as well as the remains of a child that belonged to them!
