The Jesus Dynasty and Islam: some remarkable parallels
I read from The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity pages 287288, by Dr James D. Tabor. Professor Tabor argues that far from setting himself up as the chosen messiah of a new world religion, Jesus saw himself as a descendant of the royal house of David and head of an apocalyptic movement aimed at establishing a ruling dynasty in Israel. Led by Jesus own family, including his brother James, they would lead the Jewish people to political, social and spiritual redemption.
