Product Description

The Fifth Gospel presents some compelling new evidence about the life of Jesus which has been derived from a variety of sources in the East which are unknown to most Western scholars. By chance, one of the authors found, in 1965, a reference in Ladakh to the discovery of Buddhist scrolls about Jesus. Since then, the authors have been examining evidence about the survival of Jesus Christ at the time of the crucifixion, and his subsequent travels to the East. The authors' main purpose in writing this book is to inform the West that "we in the East have some source material about the historical Jesus who lived on after the crucifixion.... This book was not written in one day, but is a result of many years' continued search for evidence," and provides research on some very compelling questions, such as: Did God descend on this earth as Jesus? Did Jesus visit India at age 13? Did Jesus survive his crucifixion? Was Jesus saved by his Essene friends, then traveled to the East, visiting many countries, finally settling in Kashmir? Jesus has been mentioned in Oriental manuscripts by many names: Issa, Isa, Issana-deva, Isha Natha, Ishai, Isa Masih, Yusu, Yuzu, Yuzu-Kristo, Yuz-Asaph, and Yusu Masih. In some works, he is mentioned as Eshvara-putram, or the Son of God, and Kanaya-garbum or Born of a Girl. In some ancient manuscripts he is called Metteyya, which is equivalent to Messiah. In some Persian works, he is known as Nasrani or Kristani, which is equivalent to "of Nazareth" or Christian. It is also interesting that the Christians are known in the East as Nasaran and Kira. Jesus is also titled in the East as Ibn-i-Maryam or the Son of Mary. Whether Jesus Christ did or did not die on the cross, or passed away naturally at an older age, like the Buddha, is a vital question in which not only Christians but others are keenly interested. For example, this book presents startling evidence about the tomb of Jesus or Yuzu-Asaph in Kashmir. The research will remain incomplete until this tomb is opened for investigation.

5.0 out of 5 stars He Who Lives in Kashmir Knows Kashmir Best, Jun 24 2007

By Suzanne Olsson "Author 'Jesus in Kashmir, The... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Fifth Gospel: New Evidence from the Tibetan, Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian and Urdu Sources AB Out the Historical Life of Jesus Christ A (Paperback)

It was after reading Professor Hassnain's book that I decided to go to Kashmir and see this "grave of Jesus" for myself. What began as a short excursion became almost a year in Kashmir and is now a lifetime passion. His evidence was so overwhelming and his reserach so thorough, that it draws one in. That is scholarship at its very finest.

I remained in Kashmir nearly a year. As I delved deeper and asked more questions, Professor Hassnain always made the time to help me, just as he had numerous other authors and researchers who came for the same reasons.
Each author, including myself, has acknowledged Professor Hassnain's contributions to their own research and books.

But the truth remains that without Professor Hassnain living in close proximity to the tomb, and having access to secret and unknown documents, the world would not have had much of this information in the first place.

This is a brave man, and a brilliant scholar. Now in his eighties, with white hair and a sparkle in his eye that never diminishes,he is a national treasure of Kashmir. We are blessed to have this book as a beacon for scholars past, present, and future.

This book is already a classic, referred to time and again.
I highly recommend it to anyone studying the history of Jews in Kashmir, and particularly the life of Jesus in India.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Book!, Feb 5 2008

This review is from: The Fifth Gospel: New Evidence from the Tibetan, Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian and Urdu Sources AB Out the Historical Life of Jesus Christ A (Paperback)

I was personally quite impressed with this book. It is a vast collection of information regarding the unknown life of Jesus before and after the crucifixion. Why is this information not accepted, in fact, hidden? I have no idea. However, it seems to me that this is some of the most vital and relevant information of the current age. It gives the perspective to give unity to the modern religions, Christian, Buddist, Hebrew and Islam.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fifth Gospel, Mar 2 2008

By Tom M. - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Fifth Gospel: New Evidence from the Tibetan, Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian and Urdu Sources AB Out the Historical Life of Jesus Christ A (Paperback)

While this book, or any other book on the subject of Christ, is open to interpretation, it provides another perspective for the reader. The information in the book is not new or earth shattering, but when seen through the authors eyes, helped me form a better opinion for myself. As with all informational books and subjects the onus of weighing the 'facts' presented is on the reader. Combined with other publications from this genre this book paints a clearer, more consise picture of the man (God) and the era.
It's a worthwhile book to read.
