A portrayal of the daily life of real people in the world of Jesus and his time This book portrays the cultural, economic and religious life of real people in the real world of Jesus and his time. Palestine was not a backwater, but a highly cultivated part of the Roman empire with theatre, literature, postal services, library systems and commerce. The author presents an entirely different picture to the popular conception of a provincial world in the back of beyond to give us a better understanding of the context from which the message of Jesus was spread.

In this new book, controversial author and scholar Carsten Thiede turns his attention to perhaps the most enigmatic ancient documents ever found in the Bible lands: the Dead Sea Scrolls. Unravelling the complex history of the Scrolls since their discovery in 1947, Carsten Thiede sets them in context by revealing what scholars now know about the Essene community which originated them. He then turns his attention to the scrolls themselves. Using his own pioneering methods in restoring the papyri, Thiede has made a remarkable find amongst them: an early fragment which can be identified as part of Mark's Gospel. The connections between the Jewish Essenes and the early Christians, Thiede argues, show that the early Christians saw themselves essentially as a movement within Judaism and not as founders of a radically new religion. This perspective has major implications for the way we view not only the Scrolls themselves but also the origins of the movement that has become a major world faith, now celebrating its second millennium.

Dead Sea Scrolls and the Jewish Origins of Christianity

For centuries scholars have tried to work out where Emmaus was: where, in other words, the risen Christ walked, ate and revealed himself. It is a crucial location in the map of Christian belief, and one of the great missing links of Christian archaeology, which has foxed excavators and biblical detectives for more than a millennium-and-a-half. Where is the true site of the astonishing event recorded by St. Luke? Three suggested sites have been put forward. Emmaus-Nicopolis, which is too far from Jerusalem to fit the story and was a regional capital rather than a village. Emmaus-Aby Gosh which the Crusaders believed to be the true site but was not called Emmaus in the first century AD and must be ruled out. Finally Emmaus El Qubeibe which was favored by the Franciscans as the true site after the 15th century but again was not called Emmaus in the first century. The trail went cold long ago, or so it seemed. Now Thiede has produced his most dramatic find to date. His work remains highly confidential and will cause a storm in the archaeological world when it is disclosed. The lost site of Emmaus is rising once again from the soil. Readers will be astonished by this extraordinary book.&gt;

It is a crucial location in the map of Christian belief, and one of the great missing links of Christian archaeology, which has foxed excavators and biblical detectives for more than a millennium and a half. Over the centuries three different sites were suggested, but the trail went cold long ago, or so it seemed. Now Thiede has produced his most dramatic find to date.

It is Christmas 1994. A distinguished German papyrologist is about to transform our understanding of the Gospels. With little more than the evidence of a few tiny scraps of papyrus, Dr. Carsten Thiede will explain to the world why he believes that the writers of the Gospels actually witnessed the Sermon on The Mount. He will show how precise and accurate study of the Greek on his papyrus samples reveals that these Gospel texts already existed in written form within fifteen years of Christ's death. In Rekindling The Word Thiede provides the full evidence for his startling theory and demonstrates his techniques and considerable talents over numerous New Testament and Qumranic documents and themes. Readers will find detailed analysis on the search for the historical Jesus of Nazareth, Archaeological Rome in New Testament times, the Development of Scroll and Codex in the Early Church, the Multilingualism of the Essenes and Early Christianity and the importance of the Qumran documents from Cave Seven.
