second century A.D.;;" hence it is
possible for him to attribute to
Agabus, with all innocence, the
theory which he has worked out.
That theory is indicated by his
title. He has Agabus report that
Jesus was really the mortal king of
the Jews, the legal heir to Herods
throne. He was, says Agabus- Graves,
the son of Herod's son, Prince
Antipater, who, at the suggestion of
the high priest of Jerusalem, con-
tracted secret marriage with Mary,
who was temple ward Antipater
was executed by his jealous father
before the marriage was acknow-
lodged, and Mary sought protec-
tion with Joseph, to whom she had
previously been betrothed.
Jesus, made aware of His royal
descent, was duly, though secretly,
annointed by the high priests
party. He was, however, a prophet,
not politician. He had the gifts
of the prophet-God spoke through
His mouth, He was capable of con-
trolling and swaying His hearers,
He had the power of healing by
faith. He undertook to purify the
religious practices of His people
rather than to make Himself king
Mr.. Graves carries through the
whole story of Jesus public teach
ing in this manner Most of the
episodes Of the Christian faith
come into his story, but with altered
context. In his account of the
death, for instance, he has Jesus
seek martyrdom according to Zech-
ariah's prophecy of the Worthless
whose truth was recog-
nized only when he had been slain
for his folly. Judas is consequently
held guiltless of betrayal. PLATE,
aware of Jesus royal birth, offers |
Him Rome's backing in His kingship |
When Jesus refuses, PLATE then
makes a deal with the reigning
Herod, agreeing to cruelty the right
full heir in return for a bribe.

The book is a scholarly effort to
make logical life history out Of
the myths and legends about Jesus
existence. Hebrew, Aramaic, Egyp-
tian, Greek and Roman mythologies
overlay one another in the totality
of the Jesus story. Mr.. Graves has
undertaken to evaluate the great
body, of them in their relation to
one another.
To that end, he tells his story
through the mouth of Agabus the
Decapolitan and sets the date of
the telling as AID. 80. AS he puts it,
