Barbara Thiering's previous works have been bestsellers in her native Australia and Focus magazine said that the impact of her work '...may turn out to be as profound as that of Darwin's Origin of the Species'. This new book continues to reveal the 'real' Jesus and the history of his time by applying to the New Testament the insights and information contained in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The author argues that the Gospel of John was in fact written in code by Jesus himself. She carefully analyses all the miracles and supernatural events to show that they did not happen as described. Instead for those who understand the code they provide a record of the development of the new religion that went on to lay the foundation of Western culture.
This book is a remarkable discovery, and very helpful in understanding the Pesher Technique. Jesus had to be The Creator to cause the words to read as we have it in the King James, yet it was quite different as it really happened. The Pesher should be explained, and what a mystery to unfold! Barbara Thiering is my favorite writer on the secret life of Jesus the Essene. Examine the meanings of the Pesher in the back of this book. It was heartbreaking to read how his hands had been damaged so that he could not ever write a book again. The heavenly languages of Jesus are so complex that his intelligence can not be written in human words. Jesus is the Master of all languages, and this book is magnificent! Also, read "Jesus the Man", which Barbara wrote. In discovering the Riddle, read "She Who Is", Elizabeth Johnson, and "Prayers to She Who Is", William Cleary, and a short, but very interesting account of a live witness of the crucifixon in "The Secret Life of Jesus the Essene", Raymond W. Bernard. It is good that John was written by Jesus, and even better that Paul was a Gnostic writer, See "The Gnostic Paul", Elaine Pagels, confirming they all were Essenes, teaching Gnosis, Jesus and Sophia, the Bride and Bridegroom.
Dr. Thiering makes one see the light!

What Dr. Thiering writes is very thought provoking and gives an insight to the actual events that occurred in the century before and after the birth of Jesus. What I especially enjoyed was the way she describes the genealogy from Heli through Jesus' son Jesus Justus. I disagree with Dr. Thiering on her claim that Jesus was born prematurely or was "illegitimate". The clan of the "All" (Heli-Joseph) followed the Jubilee Calendar that included a census when the year began during the Spring Equinox whereas the Pharisees (the clan of the Many) used a lunar calendar with the census being taken when their year begins during the Autumn Equinox. The dynastic marriage was not between Jesus and Mary Magdalene but between Joseph (All) and the Virgin Mary (Many).
