More about the book
The book delves into the transformation of Jesus from a Palestinian charismatic figure to the divine savior of Christianity, questioning whether his teachings contributed to this characterization or if church needs obscured his true identity. Geza Vermes, a renowned scholar, investigates these themes by analyzing New Testament writings in the context of first-century Jewish civilization. By tracing the evolution of Jesus's portrayal from the Gospel of John back to earlier accounts, Vermes aims to uncover the historical figure behind the religious icon.
