Although most Christians know the Easter story, most do not know the full story, according to historians Glenn Kimball and David Stirland. As part of the Hidden Treasure Series (which includes Kimball's Hidden Stories of the Childhood of Jesus) this installment offers convincing research suggesting that Herod and Pilate may not have been completely responsible for the death of Jesus. In fact, the authors claim that Pontius Pilate was once revered as a martyred saint (considering that he was blackmailed into condemning Jesus to death and was later killed as a result of the crucifixion). Pilate and his wife Claudia were even recognized on the Christian calendar for 200 years after the death of Christ. The authors also explore a more intricate and lesser-known plot behind Jesus' death. Plus, they discuss evidence that others were resurrected from the dead alongside Jesus. For lay Christians who would like to learn more of the historical truths behind the legend of Christ's life and death, this series is ideal.

AN AUTHOR'S NOTE
The cricifixion of Jesus was the most important event in the understanding of the life of Jesus. We all know the Biblical account of these events. However, one critical perspective has been kept secret for two thousand years. This perspective comes from those whom we have wrongfully held responsible for His death. Pilate and Herod have left their letters for us as a peek into this monumental event. These letters hold the secret to the reason that Pilate and his wife, Claudia Procula, were celebrated on the calendar of ancient Christian Holidays for two hundred years after the crucifixion. Few know that Pilate lost his life as a result of the crucifixion and was raised to the status of Sainthood by the earliest Christians. The historical evidence cries out for the real story of Pilate. For the first time his story comes to us in Pilate's own words. It is the most spectacular story of faith in all the discoveries in recent history. The last story in the book is the account of Joesph of Arimathea at the time of the crucifixion recorded by his friend and fellow Sanhedrin Councilman, Nicodemus. These writings tell the spectacular story of the second greatest miracle at the time of the crucifixon. Joseph of Arimathea was not a stranger to the family of Jesus, nor a mere friend. He was the great "Foster Father" of Jesus who provided for the Holy Family from the time of the death of Joseph who was married to the Virgin Mary. The tomb in which Jesus was laid was a family tomb. Joseph of Arimthea's arrest at the time of the crucifixion and his miraculous escape has been held sacred and secret from the masses far too long. The witness accounts of others who were raised with Jesus from the dead have been widely known by the clergy of many traditions. These two "Rabi" or "Angels", depending on the source of the tales, have finally been made known. How many traditions of these resurrected men must be found before we will believe them? This is a story of Easter that will last for centuries to come. We no longer have reason to be afraid of our own history.

Promising topic - sloppy execution. 31. Juli 2000

Von D. Kim Croft

Format:Taschenbuch

Kimball presents a topic which deserves thorough investigation. His reliance upon apocryphal literature is not the weakness of this book; these works clearly hold much information which would clarify the cultural and political context of the crucifixion. I get the feeling, however, that his research was sketchy and extremely uncritical. How are we to accept the concept of the "Druid University" in England [was is accredited?] [where Kimball maintains Jesus and Pilate both studied!] with no further documentation.

The editing is extremely poor. I get the feeling this book is nothing but a transcript of wandering, not very well organized, spoken presentations. For example, although the book gives the text as "Master 'Mayhem'", this is clearly mistranscribed and reveals Kimball's theological background - which he tries to keep hidden. [Hint - check the city of publication.] Not that there is anything wrong with this;some of the most intriguing research springs from this theological source. The problem is, while good, solid scholarship should be the goal when dealing with this topic, what Kimball has given us is a rather informal, off the cuff, and extremely poorly written little book.

Merely listing a lot of books at the end does not constitute scholarship! Footnotes are used for a reason! Please, next timel, try to do the job right!

Forgeries, assumptions and wishful thinking. 17. Mai 2000

Von Ein Kunde

I must say that I expected much more out of this book than it gave. First-off I had assumed by the title that there would be some semblance of scholarship behind it, but found none. In fact this is purely a fantasy world created for those who shell out money for things which support what they believe. It is obvious that this book was inspired by nothing but money and will thrive off of the sensationalism associated with fringe Christianity (the most lucrative customer base in existence). You too can make a bundle of cash simply by quoting forgeries and concocting another wild assumption about 'Christ'. Kimball references 'known forgeries' to support his case! This is absurd, to be polite. No serious theological scholar could possibly take this writer seriously, and neither should you. This is a work of fiction. I was extremely disgusted. I will gladly return to re-reading Gerald Massey and Godfrey Higgins, Jordan Maxwell and Acharya S., at least I know there is substance behind their claims and serious sholarship between the covers. I want my money back!

The Message, Not the Messanger 17. Dezember 1999

Von Martin Schulz

Just when you thought you knew it all or suspected you did'nt or were sure there must be more to the story comes Mr. Kimball with this eye opening view of a now somewhat obscure piece of history. As time bears out these hidden truths those critical of this work will be silenced. Keep an open mind!
