5.0 out of 5 stars "At Last! The True Historical Jesus" by Devon, 27 April 2006
By D. Showley (Cypress CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity (Hardcover)
Professor Tabor has written the definitive "Historical Jesus and Family". I quite literally could not lay down book in order to sleep - I had to finish it! This is the best of a growing number of books dealing with James the Just and his leading role in the early Church. The Dead Sea Scrolls prophesised two messiahs, one was Jesus and the other was...but, read the book. We see Jesus as he actually was, a Torah observant Jew. We find the identity of the "Beloved Disciple". Some of Tabor's ideas are unique but quite plausible. We see that Paul "stole" Jesus and blended him into Greek mythology. Jesus would be outraged and astonished by the idea that he was creating a new religion. I was impressed by the some 250 notes and Tabor's use of archeological and historical critical methods. I was quite surprised to find that I was feeling sympathy and respect for Jesus who was a hero on the level of Judas Maccabeus and his brothers! This book is quite unlike the DaVinci Code and the sensationalism of Baigent; this has verasimilitude and is quite readable - popular as a Best Seller, yet with the carefully nuanced details of a scholarly investigation. A beautiful, captivating book...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift To the Jewish People, 28 April 2006
This review is from: The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity (Hardcover)
What a schorlarly breath of fresh air. As a rabbi associated with the Assemblies of the Ancient Hebrew Faith I find Tabor's book and his gracious manner in presenting the information as a gift to the Jewis people. Even those of us who have been approving of the teachings of Jesus (realizing all the while he was not G-d) could not openly welcome him as a brother Jew because he was essentially "stolen" by Paul and the Catholic Church. For 1500 years he was considered G-d by one of the worlds most powerful and distructive religions. Jews were killed by the millions under the sign of the cross and in the name of Jesus. Corrupt church leaders scared and intimidated millions more with their inquisitions, induldences and on and on.........
Tabor, if accepted by the Rabbis will have a profound effect on how Jews see not only Jesus, but his deserved place in Jewish history. I am anxious to see how other Jews view this work and to see if we, as a people, have th courage to embrace our brother whose name has been so slandered and whose purpose on earth has been so misunderstood. Toda Rabba to you James Tabor. I will sit on the edege of my seat awaiting your next best seller.
