		<description><![CDATA[Christians buttress evidence for the historical factuality of the cross by appealing to eyewitness-accounts and reports found in non-Christian historical sources (Josephus, Tacitus). Muslim critics therefore grudgingly acknowledge that historically a crucifixion did occur. However, they suggest that someone other than Jesus was crucified. They argue that Christians have misunderstood the significance of the cross because they are victims of an illusion. God, they claim, replaced Jesus with someone that bore his likeness.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do we adjudicate the difference between Christians and Muslims regarding the prophetic mission and status of Jesus? Obviously, the issue cannot be answered in abstraction. For this reason, it is unfortunate that the controversy revolving around the incarnation of Christ has overshadowed his actual life lived out in history. It is of vital importance that Christians present their doctrine not as an imposition of a philosophical grid on the historical facts. Their proclamation of Jesus as Godâ€™s incarnation should be seen as a compelling conclusion based on a respectful handling and faithful interpretation of the historical data. In other words, reading about the life and works of Christ must lead us to ask what manner of man was Jesus: Isnâ€™t he a remarkable man; isnâ€™t he a prophet; isnâ€™t he more than a prophet and what then?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reginald Fuller argues that the category of the eschatological prophet remains the best category for understanding Jesusâ€™ historical mission and â€œgives a unity to all of Jesusâ€™ historical activity, his proclamation, his teaching with exousia (â€˜authorityâ€™), his healings and exorcisms, his conduct in eating with the outcast, and finally his death in the fulfillment of his prophetic mission. Take the implied self-understanding of his role in terms of the eschatological prophet away, and the whole ministry falls into a series of unrelated, if not meaningless fragmentsâ€?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This review was published in the Sunday Star on 21 May 2006

James Tabor. Tabor comes across as an archaeologist who has patiently collected and coordinated solid evidence to support his bold thesis.  The Jesus Dynasty bears the marks of a well-researched academic book.

At the outset, The Jesus Dynasty argues for an alternative history of the origins of the Christian faith in Jesus the Messiah.  Some of its provocative theses include the following:

1) There was no Virgin Birth. Mary, the mother of Jesus was either seduced or raped by a Roman soldier named Panthera (whose grave Tabor allegedly found in Germany). This claim, if true, would shatter Christian faith considerably.

2) Jesus was a disciple of John the Baptist, from whom he got his understanding of the Messianic vocation. John and Jesus took on the role of Jewish Messiahs and preached the coming of the Kingdom of God amidst political turmoil. Jesus included his four blood brothers in the Council of the Twelve which he formed the in anticipation of his success in establishing the Kingdom of God on earth.

3) Christianity traditionally identifies the â€œbelovedâ€? disciple as John. Not so, says Tabor. It was actually James, Jesusâ€™ brother. After Jesus was crucified by the Romans, his brother James â€“ the â€˜Beloved Discipleâ€™ â€“ took over the leadership of the Jesus Dynasty and â€˜ruledâ€™ for 30 years, although to say â€˜ruledâ€™ might be  exaggeration since he had no more than motley band of impoverished, persecuted Christians in his charge]]></description>
