A Boy Named Jesus

Front Cover
Ulysses Press, 1997 - Philosophy - 199 pages
A bestseller in France during the 1960s, this book presents a compelling account of the "missing years" of Jesus' youth and adolescence. Aron recounts the cultural and religious influences that a Jewish boy would have experienced in first-century life in Palestine, and hypothesizes how a boy rooted in Jewish tradition could have grown to create an entirely new religion.
