Jesus - Literary Creation from Historical Characters - Daniel Unterbrink
Published 11 years, 8 months ago
Description
Daniel T. Unterbrink is with us tonight discussing his newest book, Judas of Nazareth; How the Greatest Teacher of First-Century Israel Was Replaced by a Literary Creation. Dan Unterbrink contends that the real historical Jesus was Judas the Galilean, a messianic and Torah-observant revolutionary bent on overethrowing the Roman government. The New Testament Gospels, therefore, are not transcripts of actual history, but creative workds of historical fiction designed to promote Paul's Christianity and serve the interests of the fledgling Gentile Christian communities.
