Judas the Galilean: The flesh and blood Jesus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was fascinated with Judas the Galilean.I have studied Christian history for years, and Judas the Galilean has never even gotten a mention.However, after reading this book, I will certainly consider the author's main contention: that Jesus was a title for Judas, a powerful first century rabbi.I never realized the extent of Josephus' attention to Judas the Galilean.This Judas was involved in a Temple Cleansing, a nationwide tax revolt against Rome, a Barabbas-style prisoner release, and he was credited with founding a new philosophy.That sure sounds a lot like Jesus.In addition, Josephus never mentioned Jesus at all.It seems to me, that either Jesus and Judas the Galilean were the same man or that the identity and deeds of Judas were incorporated into the life of Jesus.Either way, I'll look at Jesus a little differently from now on.A great book!

Product Description:
In his history of the Jewish nation, Josephus wrote only of the death of Jesus, not mentioning one detail of his life. In contrast, the life of Judas the Galilean was chronicled from his temple cleansing to his grandson's suicide at Masada. Yet, Josephus did not tell us how Judas died. Is it possible that Judas and Jesus are the same person? Just a few of the similarities are listed below.
Both Judas and Jesus cleansed the Temple in Jerusalem.
Like Jesus, Judas was anointed King or Messiah by his followers in Galilee.
The organizations of the teachers were identical. The second-in-command to Jesus was nicknamed Cephas. Josephus called Judas' second, Sadduc.
Barabbas was released in the trial of Jesus during the reign of Pilate. Judas was arrested by Herod the Great and later released to the Jewish crowd.
Jesus was interrogated by Annas and later crucified because of his stand against Roman taxation. Judas led the tax revolt against Roman taxation in 6 AD. Annas became High Priest in 7 AD.
