Did Jesus live 100 B.C.? : an enquiry into the Talmud Jesus stories, the Toldoth Jeschu, and some curious statements of Epiphanius, being a contribution to the study of Christian origins
New Hyde Park, N. Y. University Books, Inc., 1968. First edition. Softcover. Quarto. XXXII, 442pp. Original printed wrappers over red cloth with black lettering on spine. Fascinating study of the origins of Christianity. It explores this question by means of an examination of materials whose existence is hardly known even to Christian ministers: The story about Jesus in the Talmud; an ancient work known as the Toldoth Jeschu (sometimes called the Hostile Gospel;) and even more obscure documents of the first centuries of the Christian era. "There emerges the quite startling picture of a Jesus, a religious teacher of illegitimate birth, who learned magic in Egypt, worked miracles and claimed to be a Messiah, and was executed-a century before the Christian era!" Minor creasing along edges of wrappers. Wraps in overall good+, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Item #28908
