Jesus Dynasty

Family of Jesus June 2, 2022

Why the Royal Family of Jesus was Erased

In 2006 I published a best-selling book with what seemed a rather odd and clumsy title for a Jesus book, namely The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity (Simon & Schuster). Every term in that title was carefully and deliberately chosen–and the phrase “the…

James Brother of Jesus May 9, 2022

Jesus and the Boys–Brothers, Apostles, and a “Band of Brothers”–Sorting it all Out!

This lecture focuses on Jesus and his “band of brothers,” whether members of his own family or apostles or both. Sorting it all out is quite a challenge. I had uploaded a private camera version of this lecture before but this one has the slides–they are not the best quality…

King of the Jews: A Tale of Two Dynasties and Two Burials

I thought some of my readers might find this older lecture from 2010 of interest–both for what it says and what we knew at the time. Many have asked why I would call my primary book on the “Historical Jesus” the The Jesus Dynasty–and refer then to Jesus and his “royal…

My Personal Introduction to The Jesus Dynasty

This is a short introduction in my own words to my best-selling book The Jesus Dynasty which I recorded in 2005 before it was published. The book is most easily available on Amazon in Paper, Hardcover, Kindle, and Audio book formats. I in fact READ THE BOOK MYSELF for the…

Tabor YouTube Channel Blowing Up…

I had never really paid much attention to Youtube until two weeks ago. I decided to clean up my Channel and begin posting videos and links under various categories, organizing things and pulling in all sorts of long-lost materials. I had no idea there was so much, both my material…

The Jesus Dynasty: Seven Main Ideas

In April, 2006 I published a trade book called The Jesus Dynasty: The Hidden History of Jesus, His Royal Family, and the Birth of Christianity.  Now in paperback it has continued to sell moderately but steadily. I wrote it as a popular summary of my own personal lifelong “quest” for the…

Two Widely Held Assumptions About Early Christianity that Should Be Questioned

In fact the “kerygma” or “preaching” of the apostles according to Luke, as reflected in Peter’s speeches in Acts 2:22-38 and 3:11-26, is pure “Paulinism” in terms of its basic parameters–that Christ was sent from God as Messiah, that he died for the sins of mankind, that he was raised…

Registrations Open for our Exclusive March 2019 Tour of Israel

This summer will mark my 68th trip to the Holy Land since my first visit with my family in the summer of 1962 at age 16. All but two of these trips  have been since 1990. I find the number astounding looking back. By far most of these trips have…

Was Christianity All a Mistake? Prof. Strange’s Review of My Take on Jesus (Part 1)

In December, 2006 my friend and senior colleague Prof. James F. Strange, Professor of New Testament at the University of South Florida wrote a very interesting and provocative two-page review of my book, The Jesus Dynasty for Biblical Archaeology Review. That review has now been archived on the Biblical Archaeology…
