Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In How Jesus Became Christian, Barrie Wilson asks "How did a young rabbi become the god of a religion he wouldnât recognize, one which was established through the use of calculated anti-Semitism?"
Colourfully recreating the world of Jesus Christ, Wilson brings the answer to life by looking at the rivalry between the "Jesus movement," informed by the teachings of Matthew and adhering to Torah worship, and the "Christ movement," headed by Paul, which shunned Torah. Wilson suggests that Paulâs movement was not rooted in the teachings and sayings of the historical Jesus, but solely in Paulâs mystical vision of Christ, a man Paul actually never met. He then shows how Paul established the new religion through anti-Semitic propaganda, which ultimately crushed the Jesus Movement. Sure to be controversial, this is an exciting, well-written popular religious history that cuts to the heart of the differences between Christianity and Judaism, to the origins of one of the worldâs great religions and, ultimately, to the question of who Jesus Christ really was â a Jew or a Christian.
