In first century Judea, a war is being fought for the soul of the Jewish people. The light of Greek culture has weakened the power of the Jewish priests but, like a pack of wolves amongst a herd of sheep, extremists and fanatics use violence and terror to enforce their version of God’s will.
The superpower of the Roman state hangs over the Middle East like a hammer. After a hundred years of Jewish riots and assassinations, the Romans are fast running out of patience.
On the eve of the final apocalypse, evil covers the land like a shadow. In a letter to the last king of Israel, a Rabbi of the Great Sanhedrin tells the story of his crucified son and the secret of the Nazarenes.
Thirty years previously his son, Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef, discovers an ancient Jewish teaching that could save the world. Arrested after a blockade of the temple sacrifices, he desperately tries to warn the Jewish people. The secret of the Nazarenes will cost him his family, his humanity and ultimately his life.
‘What you bring forth from within you will save you. What you fail to bring forth may destroy you.’
Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef, Gospel of Thomas.
Now, with the discovery of the ‘Jesus Family Tomb’, the ‘Jesus Wife’ Papyrus and the Dead Sea Scrolls we can finally glimpse the man behind the Jesus myth. The ‘Last Letters of Jesus’ animates the religious and political turmoil of the times and puts flesh on the bones of legend.
The ‘Last Letters of Jesus’ is a work of historical fiction which brings first century Palestine alive through the prism of modern Kabbalah, contemporary history and first century Jewish thought.
The Last Letters of Jesus The Secret of The Nazarenes The Nazarene Trilogy Book 1 edition by Antonio Sebastian Religion Spirituality eBooks
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the most interesting and important book I have ever read (and possibly ever will.) Presented in the form of an utterly absorbing historical novel, it's importance lies in the fact that it is based on the results of ten years of intensive research by the author, into the true socio-political situatiion around the time of the crucifiction of the Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus). And beyond that, "The Last Letters of Jesus" also challenges us with a solution to the terrible conflicts continuing to threaten humanity today.I learned of the 500-year violent and bloody conflict as, on the one hand, the Southern Judean Jews tried to unite their country by attempting to force onto the Northern Israeli Jews, their Babylonian -style belief- in, and practising- of, animal-sacrifice towards appeasing their God (the kind of god inserted into the Bible later by Paul) - a jealous, punishing Being, demanding blood-sacrifice for the remitting of sins!)
The Israeli Jewish people, on the other hand, in connection with the Essenes and John the Baptist, and despite the violent attacks, held fast to the principle of the true God - of Love, Unchanging Compassion and Forgiveness. When the Rabbi, Yeshua, foresaw the outcome, He knew He had to continue teaching and demonstrating the Way of Life - of compassion, forgiveness and respect towards all of God's Creation - or succumb to the powerful forces of Death - of violence, cruelty and destruction. The challenge, still, in today's world, is for us to make the choice which can save mankind.
The writing-style of the author, Antonio Sebastian is superb! In every sentence, as the word-pictures flowed, I was effortlessly "seeing" each scene, the Temple pillars, the sacrificial altar, the people....the Mount of Olives, the Sea of Galilee; and all the other familiar features and names. And above all, Yeshua Himself, His brothers, parents, John the Baptiser, Herod, Caiaphas Pilate - all featuring in the leading-up to the crisis. Interestingly, the Roman leaders might have released Yeshua, but His enemies insisted He must be killed.
Strangely, the details of the crucifiction did not bring me to tears! I think I was held 'transfixed', aghast at the degree of cruelty that was displayed in the process of getting rid of this man who had completely denounced their viciously cruel practices
