🔵Jesus Of Edessa - Ralph Ellis : 306

This week we welcome back author and historian Ralph Ellis to explore the connections between Jesus, Josephus and King Abgar V of Edessa.

Ralph has toured the Mediterranean for more than three decades searching for secular similarities and parallels between the apparently disparate disciplines of history and theology.

Why are so many of the famous biblical characters missing from the historical record? Does this biblical lacuna mean that both the Old and New Testaments are fictional, as many people have claimed? Or are we simply looking in the wrong locations or perhaps even the wrong eras?

 

Strap yourselves in for a revision of biblical history that pulls no punches and is not for the faint-hearted.

From the web:

Ralph Ellis has a very controversial and unconventional theory about the historical Jesus. He claims that Jesus was not a poor carpenter from Nazareth, but a wealthy and powerful king of Edessa, a city-state in northern Syria. He also claims that Jesus was a descendant of the Egyptian pharaohs, through his mother Mary, who was related to Cleopatra. He bases his theory on the writings of Josephus, a Jewish historian who lived in the first century CE, and other ancient sources. He also compares the biblical accounts of Jesus with the historical records of King Izas Manu of Edessa, who led a revolt against the Roman Empire and was crucified by the governor of Syria.

According to Ellis, Jesus had a dual identity: he was both the Messiah of the Jews and the King of Edessa. He had a claim to the throne of Judaea, as a descendant of King David, and also to the throne of Rome, as a relative of Julius Caesar and Augustus. He tried to fulfil the prophecies of the Old Testament by liberating the Jews from the Roman occupation, but he failed and was captured and sentenced to death. However, Ellis argues that Jesus did not die on the cross, but was rescued by his followers and taken to Britain, where he became known as King Arthur and founded the Knights of the Round Table. He also claims that the Holy Grail was not a cup, but a royal bloodline that traced back to Jesus and his wife Mary Magdalene, who was a princess of Orange.

Ellis’s theory is very radical and contradicts the mainstream views of historians and theologians. He challenges the authenticity and reliability of the New Testament, and accuses the Church of suppressing and altering the original evidence. He also proposes that the Apostle Paul and Josephus were the same person, and that they created a fictional version of Jesus to pacify the Jewish rebels and promote a peaceful and submissive form of Christianity. He also suggests that the King Arthur legend was misdated and misplaced by mediaeval writers, and that it actually referred to the historical Jesus and his followers in Britain.
