A spirited and sometimes freewheeling commentary on "The Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth", and the Son of Man's singular mission to free Israel from its tribal God.  

​

By portraying his death as a sacrifice willed by the God of Israel, and in teaching his disciples to symbolically drink his blood and partake of his flesh, Jesus of Nazareth unequivocally set the stage for a profound spiritual crisis to arise in the lives of his Jewish followers, for whom human sacrifice and the eating of blood were anathema.

​

Jesus versus YHWH explores the scriptural implications of these teachings to show that Jesus was in no way seeking to establish a new religious covenant. Rather, by assuming the role of a sacrificial offering within the context of Judaism, Jesus sought to provoke the utter abrogation of the everlasting covenant that bound the Chosen People to their tribal God – giving his life that his followers might go free.
