The Nile on eBay   Yeshua, the Untold Story by Lee Carter Thomas

Based on the fantasies created in the mind of an apathetic church attendee who reimagines the possibility that Jesus in the New Testament was actually the creation of a famous Judean street performer, Yeshua is the story of how the character of Jesus in theater emerges as an iconic celebrity whose dramatic reenactments of well-known stories in the New Testament challenge and threaten the current social and political order of the first half of the century. The growing popularity of the Jesus character in Yeshua's performances occurs alongside his romantic relationship with Alexia, the daughter of a Roman aristocrat. As the crowds attending Yeshua's performances increase exponentially, they eventually capture the attention of the Roman emperor. After a series of dangerous encounters, death, and sacrifice, Yeshua's character will be revered in history for all of eternity as the one who inspired people beyond their imagination.

Review

"Yeshua is a riveting, intriguing, fictional narrative. The story ends where it begins, by raising the perplexing question, 'What if?' The author paints vivid word portraits of Yeshua, Jesus, Alexia, and the cast of phenomenal actors who join them on stage. He cleverly offers fascinating twists of familiar biblical stories, compelling readers to examine their own political, moral, and social beliefs. A beguiling narrative. A must read for those who dare to ask, 'What if?'"--V. DuWayne Battle, Rutgers University"Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann defines a prophet as one who finds a place to stand outside the current religious system in order to 'think the unthinkable, to imagine the unimaginable, and to utter the unutterable.' Yeshua, the Untold Story is a prophetic journey to rethink and reimagine the underlying truth of the greatest story ever told, while raising the eternal question posed by Pontius Pilate, Quid est veritas (What is truth)?"--Ed. L. Payton, spiritual director and CEO of Celebrity Attractions
