The book investigates historical, geographic, theological and textual/canonical sources in order to elucidate "traditional understanding" if I might put it that way and in order to create the foundation for the author's conclusions. His primary conclusion is, of course, his initial contention that Jesus was a Gentile out of Galilee and not a Jew out of Judea and who is related to a god other than Jehovah.I attempt to live my life in accordance with Proverbs 9:9 and so even though I found some of the book to be the antithesis of what I "know" I accepted that the author is sincere in his descriptions and explanations thus encouraging me to read on. I spent quite a long time getting through the book because I wanted to double-check a number of his statements and also some of his sources that he references in the book. Time and again I ended up agreeing with him! (I rarely change my mind but I sometimes rearrange my prejudices - well on more than a few occasions because of what I read in this book, I changed my mind!)For my own part I was always confused as to why the God of the Old Testament encouraged war and destruction and required death penalties for his followers so frequently, yet the God of the New Testament is a loving and forgiving God. The explanation given to me by Christian ministers never rang true - now it does. I wondered why Jesus retreated from Judea to Tyre, Sidon and other Gentile cities so frequently - now it's rather obvious. I wondered why In John's gospel, for example after Lazarus is raised, Jesus is cautioned about going back to "the Jews" who want to stone him to death instead of staying where it's safe - if he was a Jew why would his disciples refer to the Jews as though they are "foreigners"? And I never understood why the Bible would refer to Jesus as a high priest from the line of Melchisedic - now I know.There are many contradictions and inconsistencies in the Bible (many referenced in Thomas Paine's 'The Age of Reason' but many more which are not) and this book goes a very long way to explaining and making real sense out of them.I congratulate the author on a fine piece of work and I recommend this book to anyone who is in search of the truth.It might be worth mentioning that the book's author is a Christian himself and so has researched and written the book from "within the fold" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With great reverence to the Christ *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2015* This book is not light reading. One must be truly a seeker to remain focused to the end. I am a seeker. It has taken time because there is so much information provided, my brain needed time to process and regroup. He does not disclaim Jesus as the son of god nor does he deny his miracles, death and resurrection. With great reverence to the Christ, Mr. Koussa questions the human identity that has been assigned to Jesus in history. He has also presented evidence that the Christian Jesus served a different deity than that of the characters of the Old Testament. I have always been baffled at how the God of Abraham Moses, and David could harshly destroyed thousands with merely a word while the God of the New Testament instructed love, forgiveness and tolerance. If for no other reason this provided for me, reason to ponder his interpretation. It inspires me to re-read the new Testament in this light as well as research religious history of the Gentile ancient peoples. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jesus the Phoenician *by D***0 on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2014* I like this book. The author makes a good argument that Jesus was not a Jew nor did he speak Hebrew. I always knew Jesus was a Galilean and spoke Aramaic. I did not know there were two Bethlehem's. I also knew that Jesus did not "follow" Jewish laws as it pertains to the Sabbath and other restrictions. I knew Jesus did not need nor prompt Moses' laws. The only law Jesus promoted was love they neighbor as thyself. If one truly does this, one cannot break any law. However, the author's book, a guide really, allowed me to pulled all this information together which I already knew but because of my poor geographical knowledge of the region, did not fathom. I was disappointed that the author did not tie the information coming out of Sumeria, as the oldest civilization with a written record, of that region. El, the God of Love, I believe, emanated out of Sumeria, to Babylonia and the Phoenicians. Important to me are the eastern Magi that brought Frankincense Myrrh. and gold to the infant Jesus. Two of which are resins, most often used in burial rituals, one of which might be needed to purchase a crypt. The Magi knew at his birth who Jesus was and the outcome of his ministry. They honored him indeed. So although I think the author pushes too hard on the Phoenician angle, not that he is incorrect, but in so doing he left out some very important facts. I recommend any reputable book on Sumeria, Babylonia and Phoenicia and this book and then re-read the New Testament with new lenses, It will give you a different perspective of the whole region and who Jesus was and where he came from. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15423842-jesus-the-phoenician](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15423842-jesus-the-phoenician) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
