In 'The Jesus Mystery', award-winning filmmaker Lena Einhorn dares to revisit accepted first-century chronologies, changing-perhaps irrevocably-the study of New Testament history and the way we see the relationship between Jesus and the apostle Paul. To support her astonishing and original hypothesis, Einhorn uses all of her scientific skills to bring together New Testament writings, as well as texts from contemporary Jewish and Roman historians, legends that survived within and outside Christianity during the first centuries after Jesus's death, and, not least, psychology. With meticulous care, she shows that incidents and people mentioned in the New Testament very closely resemble accounts recorded in the works of Flavius Josephus (Jewish Antiquities and The Jewish War)-but fifteen to twenty years later. The answer she offers is one never before seen in print.
