Michael Baigent cashing in on The Da Vinci Code, which, of course, cashed in on the work Baigent cowrote back in the day: Holy Blood, Holy Grail. So, part of this book is a rehash of that book's thesis, with some added conjecture on Jesus and the Zealots, Jesus's lost years, and Jesus's supposed survival of the crucifixion. Baigent maintains that Jesus was promoted by the Zealots, but they became mad at him when he decided it was okay to "render unto Caesar" that which was Caesar's. Baigent claims that Jesus visited, lived near, and studied at one of the two Jewish temples outside the one in Jerusalem: the one on Elephantine Island in Egypt and the one at Leontopolis. Baigent chooses the Jewish temple at Leontopolis, built by Onias III as Josephus first said, and it was the temple of the Zealots. This gives Baigent leeway to imply that Jesus's Jewish religion was crossed with various Egyptian ideas, like that of Ma'at (the scales of justice), mysticism (like the Book of the Dead for the living), and, oddly, being entombed or en-caved like Osiris. Finally, building off his Holy Blood, Holy Grail theories, Baigent claims a Church of England vicar contacted them in the 1980s, said that way back in the 1930s, his boss another Church of England man, told him that back in the 1890s he had been called to Saint Sulpice in Paris, France, to translate a set of documents that showed Jesus was alive in A.D. 45, etc. Then, in the early 2000s, Baigent claims he saw this document and/or similar documents (confusion here) that were from A.D. 34 and/or A.D. 45 (confusion here) that showed Jesus was alive, etc. Baigent implies that the document he heard about in this third-hand, one hundred year game of telephone was the source of Bérenger Saunière's mysterious wealth and the foundation of all the Priory of Sion stuff midwifed by Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Of course, all the people in his game of telephone are quite dead. The documents Baigent supposedly sees in the 2000s are all quite nowhere to be seen, studied, verified, etc. There are lots of forgeries in the world of ancient documents. And, by the way, it is very rare that documents of such sort can be dated so precisely as A.D. 34 and/or A.D. 45. So, some scholarly supposition in Baigent's style, some alternative history and theology. Then a bunch of wink wink nudge nudge "trust me, would I lie" supposition and, frankly, malarkey. By the by, the baddies in Baigent's narrative are the same folk in most of these new agey, new Christ-y books: the Roman Catholic Church, conservative Christians, Paul of Tarsus, the Patriarchy, Academe, etc. Trope central. Interesting in spots; derivative, exploitative, and speculative to the point of incredulity in others. Interesting hypothesis, which is what got me to pick up this book. Baigent suggests that Jesus survived the crucifixion, that Mary Magdalene was his wife, and that she (a woman) was the one who anointed him as messiah. Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot of evidence to support the claim. Also, some of the book reads like a textbook, which can be a bit tiresome. > Babelio : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Baigent-LEnigme-Jesus/69293 > DE BONNES INFOS Ce livre est une bonne enquête mené sur Jésus. Enquête car l'auteur a le don de la narration et d'y mêler son aventure personnelle à la trame du livre. On évoque ici qui aurait eu intérêt à faire condamner Jésus, à le protéger, les zélo… (Oribase) --le 24 mars 2017 (Sur Amazon) 4/5 I enjoyed the book for its historical perspective. However, there is a lot of hypothetical conjecture on the authors part with regards to linking of some events to prove their theories correct. I could give you a pretty convincing argument for the existence of a Yetti, but it doesn't mean they exisit. The book however does make me want to read the Bible again soon from a historical viewpoint. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Distinctions
Despite--or rather because of--all the veneration that has surrounded the figure of Jesus for centuries, historian Baigent asserts that Jesus and his death have been heavily mythologized. Using his access to hidden archives, secret societies, Masonic records, and the private collections of antiquities traders and their moneyed clients, he explores the religious and political climate in which Jesus was born and raised, examining not only the conflicts between the Romans and the Jews, but the strife within the different factions of the Jewish Zealot movement. He chronicles the migrations of Jesus's family, his exposure to other cultures, and the events, teachings, and influences that were most likely to have shaped his early years. Baigent also uncovers the inconsistencies and biases in the accounts of the major historians of Jesus's time, including Josephus, Pliny, and Tacitus. Their enduring influence reveals that spin is not a new phenomenon.--From publisher description. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

O que pensar diante da descoberta de um documento jurídico romano, de 45 depois de Cristo, em que um certo Jesus ben Josef, imigrante da Galiléia e proprietário de terras condenado por Pondo Pilatos, faz declarações surpreendentes a respeito de sua natureza divina? Será que tudo o que sabemos sobre Jesus está errado? Será que a biografia do símbolo maior do imaginário ocidental é muito mais ampla do que nos fazem acreditar? Em Os manuscritos De Jesus, Michael Baigent, um dos autores do consagrado O Santo Graal e a linhagem sagrada, faz revelações impressionantes sobre a vida e a crucificação desse homem que marcou a história do Ocidente. Apesar da celebração e veneração seculares ao redor da figura de Jesus, Baigent assegura que a sua trajetória de vida e as circunstâncias que o levar
