The Passover Plot
This is the new official Schonfield Trust edition of the Passover Plot which is probably one of the most controversial books on the role of Jesus the Messiah. Yet to say that, might detract from its scholarly attention to detail and its furnishing of new insights into the character of the Man who changed the world so radically. Thus it is a ‘must read’ for who are seeking a better understanding. Schonfield’s aim in life was to build a bridge between peoples and he hoped that by digging into the facts behind the origins of Christianity, he would be able to uncover the real Messiah, misrepresented since time immemorial. His sincere desire was that this understanding would bring together those who had so long been divided. Whilst his thesis that Jesus plotted his own crucifixion may seem far-fetched or even offensive at first, seen in the light of John’s Gospel and the thinking of the times it provides food for thought to those with an open mind.
Those Incredible Christians
Those Incredible Christians is written as a companion to the bestseller, The Passover Plot. It continues the story after Jesus' crucifixion to the movements surrounding the early disciples and how the message of the gospels developed. It demonstrates with considerable evidence how the understanding of the role and person of Messiah became adapted and corrupted and how the conflicts and power struggles with the Church at Rome, and the Roman Empire emerged.Schonfield writes as an objective historian rather than as a theologian and ruthlessly tries to get behind the intensively researched data to give us a clearer picture of what happened in those times.Learning from history, we will find many parallels in today's world and maybe come to a clearer understanding of what is driving our society today.
A Life for Mankind
This book could have started with "Once upon a time there was a Jewish boy who had a dream...." because it describes the life of a personality who was driven by a strong destiny, fueled by the discovery of Jesus as the Messiah of history and with a plan to save mankind from self destruction. He became a renowned biblical researcher, the founder of a world nation and was to influence both the meek and the mighty. He was a radical thinker and a man of action supported by a wife of equal strength and determination. Often the subject of the most vitriolic and unjustifiable attacks, he remained true to his vision and principles throughout his life. By unveiling considerable previously unpublished sources, the real man behind the 'Passover Plot' is brought alive to the reader.
The Authentic New Testament
Rich insight into the spiritual and historical meaning of the New Testament distinguishes this brilliant new translation, edited by an eminent Jewish scholar. Hugh J. Schonfield, who worked for thirty years on his modern version of the original Greek text, has created a vivid and readable translation that captures the character, mood and style of each individual author. Dr. Schonfield has provided a comprehensive introduction covering the historical and geographical background as well as helpful notes on social and religious customs. Included too, for reference use, are maps, illustrations and an index of persons and places. This incisive translation offers the modern reader a clear understanding of the original meaning of the New Testament and a dramatic picture of Biblical times.
The Original New Testament
The story of Jesus as the writers of the New Testament meant it to be told. Astonishingly unlike the New Testament as it has been handed down to us today, this remarkable new translation makes the story come alive as never before. Impelled by the latest archaeological and historical discoveries, eminent scholar Hugh J. Schonfield has returned the New Testament to its own time and place, relating its documents to contemporary literature, customs and beliefs. The first truly historical translation with no theological motivation or devotional purpose, The Original New Testament rediscovers the force and urgency of the original message. Dr. Schonfield systematically corrects mistakes in translat...
Jesus
This is the story of an eminent scholar's search for the historical Jesus and the Jewish origins of Christianity. Permeated throughout by deep sincerity and love of the subject, this inquiry not only places Jesus firmly among his own people and background, thereby clarifying his actual religious beliefs, but also summarizes the essence the sources for the Gospels. This analysis explains the meaning of the terms messiah and messianic, discusses the authorship of St. John's Gospel, and above all shows the interpolations and misrepresentations in the Gospels that have been responsible for centuries of persecution of the Jewish people. The last and third biography of Jesus by this author, this culmination brings more than 60 years of research into the life of Jesus full circle.
The Politics of God
In The Politics of God, Hugh Schonfield builds upon his controversial best-seller The Passover Plot to reveal the vision which had been driving him most of his life. In searching for the common roots of Judaism and Christianity, he uncovers Jesus the Jew and the Messiah for all people.Calling on a wide range of thinkers as well as his extensive historical and biblical research, he exposes Jesus the Messiah as the founder not of a religion but of a nation set apart to the service of Mankind.This renowned historian seeks an answer to the difficulties in discovering a solution in today's religions as well as the disillusionment with state politic's inability to find an answer to peace in the world, Hugh Schonfield uncovers an ancient idea which he believes to be the only possible solution to Humankind's dilemma - the Politics of God.
The “Lost Book of the Nativity of John”
Hitherto few scholars have treated John the Baptist as an independent personality, apart from the subordinate position accorded him in the Gospels of forerunner to Jesus. The policy of the Gospel writers, crystallized in the saying put into the mouth of the Baptist in the Fourth Gospel, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” was consistently directed to utilizing this historic figure as the supreme witness to the Messiahship of Jesus, and then, his purpose served, to relegate him to the limbo of forgetfulness. Here and there, however, even in the Gospels, we catch a glimpse of a higher role which many of his generation assigned to the Baptist. The history of the Baptists after the deat...
The Jesus Party
Cities evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls and archaeological resources to reveal that the early Jesus movement was comprised of loyal Jewish nationalists.
Judaism and World Order
Originally published in 1943, this book provides both valuable insights into the problems confronting Judaism at the end of the Second World War but also a solution towards peace for mankind in general. The books covers such subjects as why anything Jewish has suffered so much hatred which caused even a hatred of Christianity and the democratic way of life. This is pertinent to the situation between Christians, Jews and Moslems today. The book is an appeal for the building of a ‘Dienstvolk’ as the only alternative to a ‘Herrenvolk’. There may be lessons here also for the modern State of Israel which since then has become a fact and the dilemma of a people which are actually called as messengers of peace.
