Götz explores the reason why so many religious doctrines downplay the fact that Jesus was Jewish.  Fundamentalist and Evangelical teachings portray Jesus as a virtuous man and leave much out of their doctrine about Jesus’ heritage, his family, and the true nature of Jesus, the man. 

Why are people so afraid of finding out the truth?  Who was Jesus, really, before theologians painted the pious picture of this great man?  

Götz’s meticulous research and historical data chronicle Jesus’ birth and life growing up and as an adult, and relate those findings to modern-day portrayals of Jesus.   

Debunking myths and fanatical views, Götz’s relevant and important narration brings to light the reality of who the man known as Jesus truly was.  Contrary to what you’ve come to understand or believe, Götz’s astonishing book will open your eyes beyond the dogmas and fanatical pronouncements you may believe.
