الوجه الآخر للمسيح: موقف يسوع من اليهود و اليهودية و إله العهد القديم و مقدمة في المسيحية الغنوصية/ فراس السوّاح

Material type: TextTextPublication details: دمشق؛ دار علاء الدين؛ 2004Description: 260p; 24x16cmSubject(s): Summary: Title translation: The Other Face of Christ: Jesus's Stance on Judaism – An Introduction to Gnosticism/ Firas Al-Sawah. --------- Firas al-Sawah delves into the biblical narrative of Jesus Christ in the New Testament—which portrays him as a Jewish figure from the heart of the Jewish establishment—to offer an alternative perspective based on a comparative study of the New Testament with its four Gospels and the Gnostic texts that were destroyed in the fourth century CE, leaving only Coptic translations buried in the desert of Upper Egypt, undiscovered until fifteen hundred years later. Al-Sawah's vision centers on refuting the idea of ​​Christ's Jewish origins and his lineage tracing back to King David. He also rejects the notion that Christ was born in the Jewish city of Bethlehem, arguing instead that he was born in another city in Galilee bearing the same name. Furthermore, he rejects the idea that Christ's message was a revival of the Old Testament law, asserting that he rejected both the law and the God of the Jews, advocating instead a universal, universal message. In conclusion, Al-Sawah presented a translation of the Gospel of Thomas, one of the Christian Gnostic literatures.
