Rating:  Summary: INTELLECTUAL READING OF JESUS CHRIST'S LIFE Review: This book is a in depth research of the actual life of Jesus Christ; each and every fact is thoroughly researched and all sources are given. It is not a book for the faint hearted; the author Nasir Ahmad is a heavy weight intellectual who has used his thorough training as an advocate to leave no stone unturned, in his search for the truth. Had his name been 'Nigel Atkins' he would have received world wide recognition; unfortunately with an eastern sounding name; the literature pundits of the 'superior' west will discard him off as a 'coolie' to big for his boots. However the revelations are too strong and too convincing to remain in the closet for long. Once this work is recognised and acknowledged; the house of cards upon which western christianity is built will come tumbing down. This book is almost impossible to find in a public library or university library; yes it is indexed in the library catalogues; but inevitably you will find that the book has either 'been lost' or is on indefinite loan; so the only way to read it; is to purchase it. The revelations are not for the faint hearted.
Rating:  Summary: One of the Greatest! Review: This is near the top of the list as one of the greatest books pertaining to the theory of a possible post-crucifixion life of Jesus Christ. It's a classic. We are happy that it has been recently re-released (it was originally published in 1950) in 1998.
Rating:  Summary: Perhaps the Best! Review: This is perhaps the best and most thorough book on the subject of the post-crucifixion life of Jesus Christ.Of course, the entire and comprehensive theory was first written by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in the year 1899, in his explosive work, Jesus in India . Khwaja Nazir Ahmad, a follower of Ghulam Ahmad's, expanded on Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's original work, Jesus in India, and it is simply a shame that Nazir Ahmad--who was once considered for the Nobel Prize--is not given recognition for this powerful work. But, as Thundy states: "Those of us who have lived with Europeans in India and the West during the colonial period and after know that most of them as a rule carry the 'White Man's Burden' (Kipling) and the conception of the Orientals as 'lesser breeds without the law' (Macaulay); like colonial masters everywhere, they were not accustomed to consider the Easterners as their equals. As Radhakrishnan's observation cited earlier points out, in general, Western scholars, though fascinated by Eastern wisdom, have always found it hard to admit that the West could ever have borrowed anything of worth from the East or the East was ever equal or superior to the West in their cultural accomplishments." (Buddha and Christ: Nativity Stories and Indian Traditions,p. 10). Aside from the *obvious* fear that this great work must invoke amongst Christians, one wonders whether or not traditional bias against Asia and Asian scholars might be part of the reason that this book is not given its due. Long before Hassnain (1994), Kersten (1986), Kaiser (1978) and others who wrote about the theory of a post-crucifixion life of Jesus, Nazir Ahmad had thorougly explored this issue, and his book, in our view, is still unmatched.
