The Jesus of this book is quite distinct from the Jesus presented by the established Christian religions. Instead of following the well trodden paths of traditional teachings based on theological studies, the author presents a picture of Jesus, drawn from scientific evidence generated by academic findings. The result is quite distinct from the usual. Who was this man? Who were his parents, apart from theology? Did he marry a flesh and blood woman and fathered children? Was Mary Magdalene his lawful wife? Did he really die on the cross and resurrect on the 3rd day? What role did St. Paul play in the development of early Christianity? Where does the Church come from? 
The answers to these disquieting questions are found in the pages of this intriguing but respectful book. The author gathered the information presented from a variety of sources from antiquity to present day. His research includes classical authors such as Suetonius and Plinius, but also Paula Frederiksen and mainly Barbara Thiering, the famous Australian theologian who redated, and reinterpreted the Dead Sea Scrolls. Filgueiras closely follows Thiering´s footsteps, but adds new material derived from his own research findings. The book is at the same time liberating and provocative. Without a doubt, in this new release the reader will find what is conventionally called "food for thought" in large quantities: A substantial contribution to the contemporary studies on Jesus.
