What is The Passion about?
129 pages : 20 cm "There can be no doubt that nearly 2,000 years ago a Jewish charismatic was judicially murdered. This was an unremarkable event. Palestine was in ferment, Jews and Romans were at bitter odds and the authorities often reacted ferociously in the face of any perceived threat." "Geza Vermes uses his unique skills to pick apart this extraordinary story. Using all the sources available, he looks afresh with great learning and warmth at a story encrusted in myth, fabrication and misunderstanding, and gets as close as possible to the truth behind those few fateful days in Jerusalem." --Book Jacket Includes bibliographical references and index
