Jesus of Nazareth

“Albertus Pretorius, a distinguished academic, clearly researched this book very well, and he provides some incisive arguments and facts to bolster his portrayal of Jesus of Nazareth as a mere mortal who had the delusion that he was destined to become the king of the Jews. Many won’t agree with him, as he contradicts some fundamental Christian beliefs, but his arguments and conclusions cannot be ignored or dismissed out of hand.”


—Julian Jones, theologian





“This book is yet another effort to illuminate the historical Jesus. Although it is at odds with official dogmas, it cannot easily be rejected, and a learned debate is bound to follow. Some novel and convincing historical, astronomical/astrological, and psychiatric insights are welcome additions to our knowledge of the enigmatic figure of Jesus of Nazareth.”
