About this book
Mead’s historical inquiry asks whether Jesus should be dated to about 100 BCE, using Talmudic Jesus stories, the Toldoth Jeschu, and Epiphanius’s statements to reconsider Christian origins. Before interpreting those traditions, he examines rabbinic claims about scripture and the authority of the Oral Law. In one discussion, he considers whether a queen called Helena in the Toldoth might preserve a confused memory of Salome Alexandra, and weighs the possibility without treating it as settled.
