Synopsis

Who was the man before the Creed?

​In The Man Who Became God, Thanasis Efthymiou conducts a daring textual archaeology to uncover the historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth. Moving beyond centuries of theological dogma and later traditions, this book seeks to reconstruct the life of a Jewish teacher within the volatile political and religious landscape of first-century Judea.

​By meticulously analyzing a vast array of ancient sources-from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Apocryphal 1 Enoch to the Septuagint and the accounts of Roman historians-Efthymiou maps the complex social and political networks that shaped the Messianic movements of the era.

​Inside this historical reconstruction, you will discover:

• • ​The Power of Primary Sources: A deep dive into the Qumran manuscripts and sectarian texts that define the world of the Historical Jesus.
  • ​Political Networks: An investigation into how local and imperial power structures influenced early Christian origins.
  • ​Contextual Archaeology: A reconstruction of the Messianic expectations that fueled the 1st-century Jewish revolts.
  • ​An Objective Perspective: A scholarly yet accessible approach that bridges the gap between academic research and the general reader.

​This is not a book of faith, but a book of history. It is a journey to the heart of the ancient Near East, stripping away the layers of time to find the man who walked the shores of Galilee before he was transformed by history into a divine icon.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Thanasis Efthymiou applies analytical and systemic methods, derived from his academic training in Physics and postgraduate studies in Control Theory, to the rigorous investigation of ancient primary sources and the historical context of the Second Temple period. With a focus on "textual archaeology," his work bridges the gap between complex academic findings and the general reader.By analyzing primary sources such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Apocrypha, and Greco-Roman accounts, Efthymiou seeks to reconstruct the socio-political networks of first-century Judea. Following his previous work in theoretical physics (Flat Spacetime Gravity), he has dedicated his recent research to the "Third Quest" for the historical Jesus. He lives in Athens, Greece, and The Man Who Became God is his latest contribution to the field.
