The Messiah Before Jesus

On the basis of hymns found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, Knoll argues that one generation before Jesus, a messianic leader arose in the Qumran sect who was regarded by his followers as ushering in an area of redemption and forgiveness. He was killed by Roman soldiers in 4 B.C.E., and his followers believed he was resurrected after three days and rose to heaven. 12 photos.
