Ralph Ellis brings us his new book; which he asserts is the book that the Catholic Church has been dreading for the last 1;700 years. Ellis' latest research reveals who Jesus was; where he lived; and who his family were. Visit his city; see the ruins of his citadel; gaze upon his statue; handle his coins. In reality; Jesus was a son of King Abgarus of Edessa; a princeling with a small realm; a large treasury; and even bigger ambitions. But the wise prince of northern Syria came up against an intractable Rome and his many plans crumbled to dust. As readers will discover; the true history of this region undermines much of the biblical fairy-story that the gospel authors crafted; and so Christianity will never be the same. The jacket image shows Jesus wearing his Crown of Thorns; the ceremonial crown of the Edessan monarchy. Chapters include: Antioch; Edessa; Amida; Arbela and Palmyra; Adiabene and Palmyra; The Babylonian Jews; King Monobazus-Izates and Adiabene; Abgarus the Locust; The Parthian Sun-spot; The Doctrine of Addai; Silk Diadema and Tassels; Jesus and Mary in the Talmud; Emmanuel; Manu the Fish; Sarcophagus of Helena; The Fall of Edessa; more. This book is the last in the Trilogy begun with Cleopatra to Christ and King Jesus.
