Recent archeological discoveries and newly uncovered documents demand a fresh look at New Testament events. Based on such findings, Grumeza considers three possible identities of Jesus: was he simply like the rest of us, wholly human? Did he come from God his Father as a divine being, part of the Holy Trinity? Or could he have been a Star Child of mysterious genetic makeup who came to Earth with a spiritual message from a new god?
No matter any conclusion, Jesus gained an impressive following and opposition in a short timeframe of three years. His relationship with Mary Magdalene, largely overlooked, was significant: evidence reveals she became his most trusted advisor and the main contributor at all levels of his ministry.
Through Jesus's Second Coming as Paul?: Investigating Another Identity of Jesus and the 13th Apostle, Ion Grumeza re-evaluates Jesus' origins, relationships, and the events that led to his crucifixion. After analyzing the mysteries behind his burial, resurrection, and ascension, Grumeza examines Jesus' Second Coming, asserting it began on the road to Damascus, where he was transfigured into Paul. By allowing overlooked stories to challenge conventional understanding of the first century of Christianity, Grumeza corrects the timelines of both Jesus' and Paul's ministries according to correct historical events.
What is not written in the scriptures may be every bit as important to our understanding as what was recorded. Through connecting previously invisible dots, Grumeza shines new light on Jesus' saga and its ultimate triumph through the incredible worldwide spread of Christianity.
