Publisher's Notes
This book is an extraordinary and provocative exploration of one of history's great unsolved mysteries: who was Jesus? And where did he come from? The Gospels provide no direct answers and most of the fundamental ideas of Christianity are drawn not from the Gospels, but from the teachings of St. Paul. But the life of Jesus and the teachings and activities of Paul are surrounded by extraordinary contradictions and baffling inconsistencies. Salibi invites the reader to join him on a voyage of historical discovery to determine the true identity of the founder of Christianity. Where did Jesus really come from? Why do the Gospels pass over the greater part of his life? After his conversion Paul went directly to Arabia rather than journeying to the apparent source and seat of the Christian movement, Jerusalem. No reader can fail to be tantalized by search for clues, by the momentum of discovery or by Salibi's attempts to unravel the true identity of Jesus.
