YESHU HA-NOTSRI

By Dr Preston Lewis

In the surviving pre-censorship Talmud manuscripts, Yeshu is sometimes followed by the epithet Ha-Notsri. Who is Yeshu ha-Notsri? Is he Jesus of the New Testament? If not, is there a connection, somehow? Is he the Teacher of Righteousness in the Dead Sea Scrolls? Have you dared to ask someone: Is it possible that Jesus Christ in the New Testament... Could he be a lie? I ask the hard questions. In this book: Yeshu ha-Notsri, I will answer them with historical evidence.
