ROBERT GRAVES King Jesus
1960, Cassell & Co. Hardback in Dust Wrapper (DJ). Cassell & Co., 1960, Hardback in DJ. 8¾" x 5½". 356pp. Notes [The very familiarity of the Gospel story hinders us from thinking clearly about it. When Graves wrote this startling novel, his object was to suggest that the scholars had been too summary in their verdict, too ready to dismiss the Bethlehem massacre, the Temptation and other puzzling incidents in the life of Jesus on the assumption that the early Christians were either credulous fools or wilful liars. He held that, if one carefully strips away the layers of varnish and over- painting with which the true story was covered up at first for political rather than doctrinal reasons in the First Century A.D., it is possible to discover who Jesus really was and in what primitive Christianity consisted. Fourth Edition. Fold-out map to rear endpapers.] Condition Good - in Good DJ. Gently bruised at spine and corners with commensurate ruffling to the DJ including several small nicks. Text bright and tight. Good - in Good DJ. Gently bruised at spine and corners with commensurate ruffling to the DJ including several small nicks. Text bright and tight.
