Jesus Christ was - but not alone. There were many of them. Almost every adept of early Christianity could see and know his Christ. In the continuation of the bestseller "Jesus. The historical investigation "Writer and journalist Julia Latynina poses new unexpected questions for readers: what exactly did the Messiah taught, and why his apostles began to redo his teachings so quickly?
The book turns the faceless static figures of the apostles - John, Philip, Paul - in living people, with their extraordinary biographies and fierce incompatible theologies. Two characters are given special attention.
The figure of Judah Thomas, who claimed the title of spiritual twin of Christ and preached behind the Euphrates, turns over the traditional idea of Christianity, as a faith that developed within the Roman Empire. And the figure of John the Baptist - the religious and political leader of the incredible authority and power - fundamentally changes the idea of the time and cause of Gnosticism
