Title: The Real Jesus
Subtitle: Then and Now
Description: The articles and lectures assembled in this volume reflect the views on religious matters of a liberal
thinker, free of the constraints of churches, synagogues and their secular equivalents, who has tried throughout his life to separate reality from myth. The topics treated in these pages converge on the main themes of previous academic research by Vermes: the historical Jesus, his real life and authentic teaching, and the sketching of the genuine portrait of this holy Galilean Jew liberated from the religious images superimposed on it by theological speculations of his non-Jewish followers over two millennia.
