Publisher's Synopsis
Since its canonization in the 4th Century, the New Testament Gospels were misconstrued by Christendom as, "Holy Bible" superseding the authority of the "Old Testament." However, they were actually originally written as Agaddah (folklore & parables), and never meant to contravene Jewish Biblical Law.
In this volume the first two Lost Gospels chronicle two distinct historical characters named Jesus. The first Jesus was active about 90 BCE. He was executed for witchcraft and enticing other Jews to defect from Judaic creed. The second Jesus, was a pariah Pharisee rabbi, preaching exclusively to the Jewish peasantry 120 years after the first Jesus. He was unsettling for the rabbis, despised by the Sadducees, judged an insurgent by the Romans, and ordered to be crucified. The third Gospel in this trilogy, is based on the plausible assertion that (the second) Jesus repented, was clandestinely pardoned from crucifixion, and surged from working as an isolated, obscure, ignoble and ignorant shepherd to become one of the great Jewish sages of the era.
