Author: LEHMANN, JOHANNES
Title: The Jesus Report - the Rabbi J. Revealed by the Dead Sea Scrolls
Description: London, Souvenir Press. 1972, First. (ISBN: 0285620223). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with bumping to front top corner tip with VG+ dustjacket. Translated by Michael Heron. 176 pages. Lehmann asks who really was Jesus? How can we reconcile the picture of Christ which has come down over the centuries with the man the Romans crucified and whom they must have regarded as a dangerous political firebrand. Investigation of the Dead Sea Scrolls suggests that the Essene Sect can provide the answers, yet the Essenes were never mentioned in the Bible. The teachings of Christianity remain untouched and as potent as ever in this study but the powerful influence of the Essenes provides an entirely different picture of the life of Christ. R2. Near Fine/Very Good.
