«Jesus the Magician» is the historical essay by Morton Smith, published by Aquarian in paperback (227 pages, in English).
Morton Smith examines how the people of his time saw Jesus and argues that many contemporaries considered him a magician. He gathers testimonies from the gospels and from non-Christian sources, studies magic in Antiquity and compares the miracles of Jesus with the practices of other magicians, questioning the accepted Christian image.
Originally published in 1978, this work won the Lionel Trilling Book Award. The Aquarian edition includes bibliography and index.
For readers interested in the history of Christianity, research on the historical Jesus, and magic in the ancient world.
