    James D. Tabor

  • Publication Details

    Book, Simon & Schuster, 2006

  • Description

    “Based on a careful analysis of the earliest Christian documents and recent archaeological discoveries, The Jesus Dynasty offers a bold new interpretation of the life of Jesus and the origins of Christianity. In The Jesus Dynasty, biblical scholar James Tabor brings us closer than ever to the historical Jesus. John and Jesus together filled the roles of the Two Messiahs who were expected at the time: John, as a priestly descendant of Aaron, and Jesus, as a royal descendant of David. After Jesus was crucified by the Romans, his brother James — the “Beloved Disciple” — took over leadership of the Jesus dynasty. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
