A casual reading of the Biblical account of the life of Jesus gives the story of one life presented in a neat and orderly fashion. However, a deeper study reveals inconsistencies and chronological problems. What was historical fact and what was presumption based on tradition and dogma' The commonly accepted chronology of Jesus' life was grounded in the premise that the Gospels, for the most part, recorded the same events. Any differences in the accounts was the result of the author's intended audience. Dr Ron Charles says 'Throughout my years of research I have maintained that the Gospel records of Jesus are the unassailable truth. However the Gospels do not give exact dates. I resolved to develop a logical chronological timetable that fits within the parameters of Roman history and culture. I am still learning and I know I will have to modify my chronology so that it fits move accurately into history's timetable. I have spent the past 43 years researching and documenting the life and ministry of Jesus and will continue this quest until I die. I offer you a chronicle of Jesus' life, based on both the Gospel records and a variety of extra-biblical sources that confirm the truth of the Gospels.'

The Search: A Historian's Search for Historical Jesus

The Search is neither predominately scholarly, historical, nor inspirational. Rather, it is a book that seeks to understand why Jesus said what he said and did what he did in light of the fact that he was not only a loyal Galilean Jew but he was also a loyal Roman subject, who was probably educated in Greco-Roman influenced schools, who probably worked under the authority of Roman administrators, who ministered under the protection of Roman officials, and who died as a enemy of Rome as mandated by Roman law.The book is not intended to present Jesus in any lesser light than that of deity. Yet, within the context of known Greco-Roman history, customs, philosophies, and manners of the time in which Jesus lived and ministered. It attempts to show under what circumstances his ministry and popularity grew and flourished in Roman Mare Nostrum and then floundered.The Search is historical in that it portrays the life of Jesus as it was in Roman Mare Nostrum East. It is scholarly in that it confirms each Gospel recorded event with non-biblical authenticating documentation. It is inspirational in that it assumes that the Gospel records are the most accurate records available about the life of Jesus and that the word and deeds recorded in the Gospel narratives have been preserved for two millennia because they were the narratives that God felt would be most spiritually beneficial to this Current generation.This book will attempt to discover Jesus' life by filling in the empty center between birth and death by reaching beyond the bare bones skeleton of historical Jesus and alighting upon the fully developed historical epic of Jesus-the loyal Jewish Roman subject of Roman Mare Nostrum East.

Biographies & Memoirs

AuthorHouse

This story takes place in the rugged coal fields in the segregated south, during the late1940's. Nothing much had changed there in a very long time. Because of the social attitudes of that time and place, it was unlikely that the two people in this story would ever have even met. Then, one summer, something happened there that upset the status quo. A local boy is fascinated as he watches things unfold and begins to see that things are not as easily understood as he had been led to believe. "Bad things happen when there's no one around to see."
