Jesus and the Apocalypse: The Life of Jesus After the Crucifixion

by Barbara Thiering

Book Overview

This is an extraordinary book, but needs to be read in conjunction with her other two books on the subject. This is the ONLY interpretation of the gospels which actually makes sense - and, from the pages of the bible itself, the truth leaps - freed from its bounds after 2,000 years. You will never think of Jesus the same way again after reading this book...

Ms. Thiering's work will certainly form the basis of all future research into the true meaning of the New Testament and the life of Jesus and his associates.
