When Did Jesus Live =?

did Jesus Live 100 Years B.
c." is the title of a bulky volume
written by G. R. S. Mead. The
particular subject dealt with in the
present substantial library volume
has been brought to Mr.. Mead's no
tice by a curious set Of circumstan-
ces in which a number of his friends
from various parts OF the world
have communicated to him the re-
suits of investigation, research and
contemplation, all tending to the
same conclusion. that Jesus was
born 100 years prior to the date re-
corded by history. In the first place
the author considers the Christian
tradition that Jesus was born in the
reign of Herod and was put tc
death under Pontius Plate. In the
second he acquaints the reader with
he Talmud Jeschu stories, which
purport to preserve traditions of
the life and date of Jeschus death,
which vary on almost every point
with the Christian account Third
". he investigates the Toldoth Je-
schu. or medieval Jewish Jesus le-
gcnds. And, lastly, ne takes into
consideration some very curious
passages in the writing OF the
Church father, Epiphanius of Sala-
mis-.
