The
Lost Religion of Jesus:
Simple Living and Nonviolence in Early Christianity
Jesus’ preaching was first and foremost about simple living and
nonviolence; he never intended to create a new religion separate from Judaism.
Moreover, Jesus’ radical Jewish ethics, not a new theology, distinguished the
followers of Jesus from other Jews. It was the earliest followers of Jesus, the
Jewish Christians, who understood Jesus better than any of the gentile Christian
groups.
In this detailed and accessible study, Keith Akers uncovers the history of
Jewish Christianity from its origins in the Essenes and John the Baptist,
through Jesus, until its disappearance into Islamic mysticism. Akers argues that
only by really understanding this mysterious and much misunderstood strand of
early Christianity can we get to the heart of the radical message of Jesus of
Nazareth.
