I found this book to be very helpful in understanding Jesus from a historical view. The information was well presented and sources were well-documented. An open minded reader seeking to understand the time period of Jesus' life and the influences that surrounded his people will enjoy the work. I would not recommend this book to a devout church going Christian, however, because it will fly in the face of all the church has ever taught you and it will also explain why. If you're the sort of person who only wants to read that which reinforces your own belief system, this book is not for you. If you are not that sort of person, perhaps this book will be right up your alley.I found it a fascinating read. The author does a wonderful job of authenticating the Gospel of Barnabas and I admire his obvious passion for seeking to understand the historical Jesus and for trying to reveal something I have also believed, namely: "I am the Lord your God and you shall have no other gods before me". M. A. Yusseff, may Allah's blessings be upon you, and keep up the search for truth as it conforms to the laws of God as handed down in the Torah.

If you are searching or studying religions, this book will keep you awake at night! Just what did Jesus really ask of us, why is Christianity such a deviation from Judaism? All the clues are there provided you investigate. Using history, the Gospel of Barnabas and the Dead Sea Scrolls this book gives a riveting account of what took place during and after Jesus. The fighting, destruction and above all the power struggle. It can't be a mere concidence that the puzzle of Gods true message to man fits so well.
