Jesus: "...To Bury Caiaphas, Not to Praise Him"

by David Flusser

Prof. David Flusser's biography of the life of Jesus is the fruit of more than fifty years of personal research concerning what may be considered the most well-known figure of the Second Temple Period. His philological-historical approach calls for a reconsideration of how we read the literary sources. He brings to bear the wealth of new information regarding the first century setting in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls, historical inquiry, and recent archaeological discoveries. What results is a compelling portrait of Jesus which gains additional depth because it is viewed with the context of Jewish though and life in the first century. Both Jewish and Christian readers will be challenged by Flusser's work.
