Comments about "James The Brother of Jesus" :
"Stirs up a furor" - Los Angeles Times
"Robert Eisenman's James The Brother Of Jesus is less a book than an irresistable force. Once opened it bulldozes your prejudices, flattens your objections, elbows aside your counterargments, convinces you." - Toronto Globe and Mail
"Powerful ... A thrilling essay in historical detection ... This passionate quest refigures Christian origins." - The Guardian
"Mindb-l-o-wing ... A masterpiece ... The breadth and detail of Eisenman's investigations are breathtaking, as are its implications. Eisenman shows us how to crack the codes of theological disinformation, to listen to the long-faded echos, to find handholds up what seemed an insurmountable climb to a peak from which to view a hitherto unseen landscape ... A massive and profound achievement." - R Price, - Editor, Journal of Higher Criticism

"Professor Robert Eisenman speaks with the fervour of a true believer who has been shown a revelation of stunning splendour ... His words, theories, and personal style have all made a deep impression on me. ... A tour de force ... Magnificent." - Neil Asher Silberman, author of "The Hidden Scrolls"
