Were the Jews really responsible for the death of Jesus?-- Did the writers of the New Testament falsely accuse the Jews of causing the death of Jesus?-- Contrary to Church thinking, did the Jews actually favor Jesus and support his movement?-- Independently-researched reference notes document the historical validity of this story.Jews, including the disciples, followed Jesus and practiced Mosaic law. Paul replaced this with a belief in sacrificial death. Amid rejected love, incestuous royalty, decadent emperors and Jewish-Roman war, the conflict between two groups of Jesus-followers evolved into a new religion. Paul, competing with Peter, slandered all Torah followers, and finally, blamed the Jews for Jesus' death. An objective, unbiased, novelized history, backed by over 100 pages of end notes, this novel reveals personalities who changed historical accounts for personal reasons. Christians and Jews will find in this book how close their beliefs should be."This is a book forthose who know the Bible and take it seriously". -- Rapport Magazine"It proves the Jews were falsely accused of deicide...amazing research...compelling personalities, frightening events and shattering ideas". -- Association of Jewish Libraries"This is truly a book for our ecumenical times, a book for the turn of the millennium". -- James D.
