From the author of 'The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered' and 'James, the Brother of Jesus', comes an amazing work of historical detection that contains extraordinary revelations about the leadership of the early Christian Church, reveals deliberate falsifications in New Testament documents and shows how the basis of the Christian Holy Communion is fundamentally flawed.
'The New Testament Code' is the true historical background to the recently discovered James' ossuary (stone tomb) which bears the inscription 'Here lies James, the brother of Jesus'.
Robert Eisenman decodes much of the mis-translation of passages in the Gospels which lead to some extraordinary conclusions. He exposes Peter's true historical role -- as a prototypical Essene who is used in the Gospels and the Book of Acts as the mouthpiece for anti-Semitism. He demonstrates that the interpretation of the ritual of the Last Supper that forms the basis of the Christian Holy Communion is essentially un-sound. Jesus never exhorted his followers to drink his blood -- the secrets of the words is revealed in the last chapter of this book. Eisenman's many readers will not be disappointed.
