A revolutionary look at the early life of Christ. Drawing on new evidence from the historical and archeological record, as well as insightful close readings of both the canonical and the Gnostic Gospels, Dr. JeanPierre Isbouts paints a fascinating portrait of Jesus as a grassroots reformer with a social agenda whos as much dissident as messiah. Dr. Isbouts reveals an adolescent Jesus scarred by peasant rebellion, economic repression, and the wholesale displacement of the Galilean peasantry. Using modern economic, forensic, and psychological models as well as information from Roman and Jewish documents, Isbouts shows how these horrifying conditions galvanized Christs mission as a social activist and religious rebel. Isboutss approach is sophisticated and secular, though respectful of faith, and results in a narrative of compelling interest for a wide range of readersfrom scholars to skeptics to believers. A 16page color insert with photos of historic sites, archaeological digs, and artwork enhances the text.
