Silk Road Jesus

About the Book

Silk Road Jesus takes us on a quick journey through the lifetime of the Galilean preacher, Jesus of Nazareth. Through historical based on bits of scripture, this small book shows how Jesus and his family constantly faced danger from Roman authorities, those out to suppress religious Jews, those wanting only “government by God”. Pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place as Jesus rapidly gained popularity by sniping at Roman occupiers with his parables and guised speech. The climax comes in a showdown at the cross, as he is drugged by some trusted secret disciples. A case is made that the real person Jesus was not only a physician, but a true Jewish patriot, a man who could never be dissuaded from risking his life for his friends upon a Roman Cross.

About the Author

About The Author Peter Buehler attended university at Athens, Ohio, achieving the M.S. degree in 1963. Unhappy about the Viet Nam war, he left the states in 1970, spending ten years in Germany. After being struck by a car that was speeding in heavy fog (1973), he was hospitalized for an entire year, a “brush with death” that made him a serious Bible student. This is his first published work, which he says proves that the anti-Roman words of Jesus have been taken out of context. He considers Jesus to be an anti-Roman associated with insurgents, one who was in some manner associated with a Jewish sect called the Essenes, a group of very purist Jews who studied and maintained the Jewish scriptural heritage at Qumran.
