Note: This book is a little beat up and the outer edges of the pages have yellowed. However, the book is quite readable and the topic is fascinating, at least to me. If it doesn't sell, I will keep it for my collection. If it does sell, well, someone will be getting a great book.

In *Jesus of the Apocalypse,* Barbara Thiering presents a bold and controversial interpretation of the life of Jesus Christ, drawing upon the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient texts. Building on the ideas explored in her previous work, *Jesus the Man,* Thiering argues that Jesus survived the crucifixion, married Mary Magdalene, and played a pivotal role in shaping an underground movement that would evolve into a new religious tradition. This book reinterprets key elements of Christian theology, including the Book of Revelation, and challenges traditional views of the life and legacy of Jesus. Through meticulous research and a revolutionary approach to ancient scriptures, Thiering offers readers a new perspective on one of history’s most enigmatic figures.
