‘The impact of JESUS THE MAN by Barbara Thiering may turn out to be as profound as that of Darwin’s ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES on theories of human evolution.’ FOCUS MAGAZINE In her controversial 1992 bestseller JESUS THE MAN, Barbara Thiering analysed the hidden meaning contained in the Dead Sea Scrolls to propose a radical new historical interpretation of the life of Jesus Christ. Now, in JESUS OF THE APOCALYPSE, she unravels the mysteries of the Book of Revelation, including the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, the beast whose number is 666 and the Great Harlot clothed in scarlet and purple. In this new work of remarkable research and scholarship, Thiering argues that Jesus was a central figure in a major political movement to overthrow the pagan Roman empire. Although crucified, he did not die on the cross and he, and subsequently his sons, took an important role in the evolution of the new underground religion which was developing out of Judaism. With detective-like perseverance, Thiering sheds new and significant light on a period that has so often been seen more through the implications of scripture than the facts of history. Dr Barbara Thiering was an active member of the University of Sydney’s School of Divinity for 22 years and is now a full-time writer and researcher. Her scholarly articles and books on the Dead Sea Scrolls have earned her a world reputation on the subject, and she is the author of the bestselling JESUS THE MAN: A NEW INTERPRETATION FROM THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS. She lives in Sydney and has a grown family.
