«Jesús el mago» is Morton Smith's essay, published by Martínez Roca in paperback (266 pages, in Spanish).
The author argues that Jesus was perceived by his contemporaries as a wonder-worker linked to magical practices and esoteric traditions. Through the analysis of ancient texts, Smith proposes an alternative reading to the dogmatic interpretation of Christianity and places his figure in the religious context of the Greco-Roman world.
Subtitled «Las claves mágicas del Cristianismo», it belongs to the Enigmas del Cristianismo collection. 1988 edition, translated by Joseph M. Apfelbäume from the original Jesus the magician.
For readers interested in the history of Christianity, religious heterodoxy, and academic debates on the historical figure of Jesus.
