Who Knows?
A well researched book including photos. I've always wondered why there were 'wise men from the East'. Enjoyable and interesting read.Sadly the Roman Empire became the Holy Roman Empire and the message was lost.

Very interesting though flawed
The subject is one which is undeniably fascinating. I have felt for years that Jesus must have had contact with Eastern (Indian) mysticism in some form and probably Buddhism, and there are other books on the subject. As the author describes, there was a free flow of Buddhist monks between India and the near East. I would hesitate to recommend the book as there are glaring inaccuracies concerning Buddhism, with which I am very well acquainted, and this makes me wonder where the inaccuracies are in other areas about which I know little or nothing . . . He really does misrepresent so much in Buddhism.A useful read though I think one needs to remember these limitations. There is very broad and welcome research though accuracy would always be a problem.

Interesting Perspective
Preface can really make you doubt your faith but the book really gives us the solace that Jesus safely took the Dunki route to India

Objective Truth about Jesus vs. Churchdom
Holger Kersten, does a truly logical, scientific, and masterful commentary in analyzing the evidence and the scriptures blow by blow to recount a picture of history, and of christ, that is extermely compelling. What is very impressive is the kindness, and the patience by which he deals with traditional views as an unbiased possibility and compares it to a much simpler explanation from the evidence, and the facts. Is it feasible that someone well practiced in yogic methods of body endurance just after 3 hours of crucifixation, was doped with sedative and led to recover under heavy influence of aloe and myrr? OR do you have to believe that somehow in arising from the dead? Occam's razor would suggest that Holger is probably right. No matter what you believe -- the journey of piece by piece forensic assembling of the facts is a spell-binding read surely.I am extremely surprised at some of the biased reviews here from the church-raised views. I'm not even sure whether they have read the book to be honest. I actually think the personality portrayed of Jesus (read the Jesus vs. Paul chapter particularly) here commands much more reverence and holyness for the Son of God than traditional church views that you have to swallow without questioning. After all, in the sermon of the mount, does not jesus show the path to enlightenment (selflessness, universal love, renunciation) that is more than merely an automatic guarantee of salvation by accepting that he died on the cross? If Jesus were alive today will he say "live your lives as I have shown and laid the path for you" or will he say "just give me credit as the only son of god"?I am surely not the expert here, in the bible, or in religious matters but for my simple mind, the church views and bible do not add up and I for one, do believe that Jesus' true message and life has been completely mis-portrayed. This book begins to raise many difficult questions and provides some compelling answers that you cannot ignore.

インドで印刷された本であるため、印刷が不鮮明で非常に読みにくい。 したがってまだ内容については詳しく見ていませんが、著者の見解について気が付いた点を一つだけ書きます。インド版への序文に書いてあることについてですが、Jesusの語源はヘブライ語のYHWHだけから来ているわけではありません。つまりこれは、YHWHは救い(Yeshua)という意味です。 又この語はセム語起源であってサンスクリット語のIshvara(印欧語起源の単語) とは全く無関係です。
