"Ideas that don't disturb are unworthy of being called ideas,"
claimed Oscar Wilde.
Questioning the Bible, Chris Albert Wells shows how a revised
assessment of the Essene Dead Sea Scroll Messiahs brings
existential challenges to the fore and teaches us to doubt what
we previously have been told.
In Jesus: God, Man or Party
Label? author Chris Albert Wells expands our
conventional thinking by demonstrating how the two Gospel
Messiahs—Jesus and John the Baptist—originally were party
labels, just as today the American donkey and elephant symbolize
coalitions that fight for control within the same democracy. The
Messiah Code also explains why Christians should look more in
the direction of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls to research
their spiritual origins, rather than Bethlehem or Nazareth. This
powerful and poignant reading highlights how each sectarian
delegation was scheming for its side to win. You will be
spellbound as the author describes how the Qumran clans,
identified by their respective Messiahs, were the ancestors to
the Gospel clans, how the two Messiahs were in competition, and
how Jesus eventually won over John the Baptist. Wells uniquely
presents a gripping book that adds previously overlooked insight
and offers a realistic approach to the Dead Sea Scroll Messiahs
and the community strategies expressed in the early evangelists’
writings.
