Publisher's Synopsis
With Jesus and Yahweh, Harold Bloom has written what may well be his most explosive, and important book yet. There is very little evidence of the historical Jesus ?who he was, what he said. As Bloom writes, “There is not a sentence concerning Jesus in the entire New Testament composed by anyone who ever met the unwilling King of the Jews.” And so Bloom has used his unsurpassed skills as a literary critic to examine the character of Jesus, noting the inconsistencies, contradictions, and logical flaws throughout the Gospels. This is a thrilling and mind opening essay.
