This well-loved copy of Hugh J. Schonfield’s controversial work “The Passover Plot” offers a unique perspective on the life and death of Jesus Christ. Published in 1965, the book caused a stir by proposing that the crucifixion was a calculated move by Jesus to fulfill messianic prophecies. Schonfield, a scholar of the Dead Sea Scrolls, drew upon his extensive knowledge of early Jewish and Christian traditions to craft this thought-provoking thesis. While the book’s assertions have been debated by theologians and historians, it remains a significant work in the study of the historical Jesus. This 11th printing from 1969 bears the marks of its age, yet the clean pages and secure binding make it an excellent reading copy for those interested in exploring this controversial interpretation of the Passion narratives.
