While reading through narratives of the Jewish revolt by first-century historian Flavius Josephus, Einhorn encountered a number of similarities to the Bible. These parallels\u2014all limited to a short period of time\u2014include an unnamed and mysterious messianic leader strikingly similar to the Jesus described in the Gospels\u2014only he\u2019s not the peaceful miracle worker we know so well.<\/p>\n

Significantly, Einhorn found that historical records consistently place these events (which allude to the conspicuous figure in Josephus\u2019s writings) twenty years later than in the New Testament. Twenty years, with precision, every time.<\/p>\n

A Shift in Time<\/em>\u00a0explores the possibility that there may have been a conscious effort by those writing and compiling the New Testament to place Jesus\u2019s ministry in an earlier, less violent time period than when it actually happened. In this groundbreaking book, Einhorn argues that when the Bible and the accounts of first-century historians are compared side by side, it seems there may be an alternate account of the events that shaped the Christian world.<\/p>\n

Elements of this emerging hypothesis were included in Einhorn\u2019s previous book,\u00a0The Jesus Mystery<\/em>, originally published in Swedish in 2006 and later published in the United States. Much has happened since then, and Einhorn has presented her findings in various academic forums. The publication of\u00a0A Shift in Time<\/em>\u00a0marks the first complete presentation of the full details of the hypothesis and a discussion of its conclusions and inevitable implications.<\/p>\n

The book is published in the USA by Yucca Publishing (an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing) in March 2016.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space]

\n [vc_column_text]Do we really need another book purporting to dig fresh insights out of the New Testament? The surprising answer provided by\u00a0A Shift in Time<\/em>\u00a0is a resounding, \u2018Yes!\u2019.
\nMark Adams, bestselling author of\u00a0<\/em>\u201cMeet Me in Atlantis\u201d and\u00a0<\/em>\u201cTurn Right at Machu Picchu\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

What if historians cannot find Jesus because they have been looking in the wrong places? Or, more to the point, the wrong time? That is the suggestion of television documentarian turned New Testament scholar Lena Einhorn, based on a bold and eye-opening new reading of Josephus. Sometimes it takes new eyes to see old things. While she may not convince everyone, her presentation of sources is so meticulous and clear, no one will be able to say after reading\u00a0A Shift in Time<\/em>\u00a0they have not benefitted by immensely widening their horizons and immeasurably increasing their insight.
\nProfessor Robert Eisenman, author of \u201cJames the Brother of Jesus\u201d and \u201cThe New Testament Code\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Lena Einhorn shows that there is still gold in Josephus for New Testament researchers to mine. What a fascinating, striking hypothesis! In the manner described by Thomas Kuhn in\u00a0The Structure of Scientific Revolutions<\/em>, she makes a fresh start from the \u2018anomalous data\u2019 which stumped the conventional paradigm and makes it central to a bold new paradigm. The gauntlet is thrown!
\nProfessor Robert M. Price, author of \u201cThe Christ-Myth Theory\u201d and \u201cIts Problems\u201d and \u201cThe Empty Tomb: Jesus Beyond the Grave\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most readers of this book, and especially New Testament scholars, will find its thesis unpalatable and even unacceptable. They should for that reason take its evidence and argument seriously, not just as positive historical proposals but as a challenge to traditional reconstructions of the life and precise setting of Jesus of Nazareth. Those who trust the Gospel portraits as reasonably accurate historically will encounter an alternative that challenges such trust; those who consider these portraits to be substantially products of social memory will also find valuable clues to historical events that may have fashioned that memory. At the very least, this book should make us think.
