In this descriptive presentation I have sought for a means to acquaint the scriptwriter with the real quality and aims of JESUS - independent of Christian teaching and theology, and without the necessity of having him portrayed by an actor. I have therefore employed the device, as a means of communication to the scriptwriter - and I hope inspiration - of framing an interview with the man who was closest to Jesus, and in old age had made his home in the great Asian city of Ephesus (in modern Turkey). The man was not Peter, or any one of the Twelve Apostles, but one of a highborn priestly ...

There is probably no other figure in modern Jewish historical and Messianic research who is more controversial or famous than Hugh J. Schonfield. It would seem that since his death in 1988, his popularity and the interest in his prodigious work, which included over 40 books, has drawn increasing attention, particularly outside Judaism. In fact, it is probably fair to say that his contribution to the Gentile understanding of Jewish aspirations amongst those within the Christian cultural framework has been without parallel. The Mondcivitan Writings Series is a collection of essays and ...

“Woodrow Wilson gave up his health and eventually his life in the first attempt, a generation ago, to preserve the world’s peace through united world action. At that time, there were many who said that Wilson had failed. Now we know that it was the world that failed, and the suffering and war of the last few years is the penalty it is paying for its failure.... Now at last the nations of the world have a second chance to erect a lasting structure of peace—a structure such as that which Woodrow Wilson sought to build but which crumbled away because the world was not yet ready. Wilson ...

An essay on the Creation with some new insights

In this essay, the renowned scholar, Dr. Hugh J. Schonfield, demonstrates how the fundamental concept of Jesus' Messianic mission became adapted to suit the needs of gentiles living in the countries of the Roman Empire outside of Judaea. He clearly shows how all humankind has the opportunity to become part of Israel without having to take up a particular religion because the idea of a saving Israel is a fundamentally political idea rather than a religious one. This concise and clear discussion contains the essence of the thinking which has had such an effect on great thinkers such as John ...
