Photos. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Controversial, but Informative Barbara Thiering's work has been extremely controversial. People either regard her highly or think she's a nutcase. In this book you can see for yourself why she has generated so much controversy. Personally I find the book intriguing and interesting. Her technique is very unusual, and while we only have her interpretations to rely upon, in most cases I thought she presented a good case and one which was sympatehtic to my own views. One can only wish that Dr. Thiering had inspired more ... Read More Rating: - Wish I had looked more closely... This book, Jesus & the Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls, is the exact same book as Jesus the Man, both by Barbara Thiering.

By using the pesher technique, she has deciphered the Gospels. Did you know that Jesus survived the Crucifixion? Did you know that Mary Magdalene divorced Jesus? Did you know that he remarried? Did you know that Jesus' daughter married Paul? It is all here. Rating: - too much conjecture I bought this book after seeing the TV documentary, which I thought was very interesting. However, by the time I got about half-way through the book, I realized that her conclusions are based upon wild conjecture. Thiering believes that basically everything in the gospels is symbolic and that she has discovered the keys to understanding the real story behind the fiction. The real story, of course, was hidden from the uninitated, and now that hidden knowledge that was lost for thousands of years can ...
