In her controversial bestseller Jesus the Man, Barbara Thiering first presented a completely new historical interpretation of the life of Jesus Christ. Now, in this work of remarkable research and scholarship, Dr Thiering sets out to unravel the mysteries that have long surrounded the clusive complexities of the Book of Revelation. 'It was not,' she writes, 'about vision and apocalypse, but about the profoundly important history of the Christian movement from AD 1 to AD 114. In Jesus of the Apocalypse, Dr Thiering presents a new and significant view of the development of Christianity from the time of the Crucifixion until the second century AD. She argues that Jesus was no solitary preacher appearing suddenly on the shores of Lake Galilee: he was a central figure in a major political movement to overthrow the pagan Roman empire. Although crucified, he did not die on the cross, and he, and subsequently his sons, took an important role in the evolution of the new underground religion which was developing out of Judaism. 228.070552142387 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 228.07 Thi j E97026223 Non Fiction 228.07 Thi j Jesus_of_Apocalypse.jpg 59590 2014-12-16 10:48:29 2025-05-08 16:15:02 machine generated
