Dead Sea Scrolls, Teacher of Righteousness = Jesus? Rare Book
This is a very rare book on Dead Sea Scrolls & the 'Teacher of Righteousness references compared to Jesus One & the same?
One of the theories:
Michael O. Wise posits that the Teacher of Righteousness was the "first messiah", a figure predating Jesus by roughly 100 years. This figure, who Wise believes was named Judah, rose to prominence during the reign of Alexander Jannaeus, and had been a priest and confidant to the king. However, he became dissatisfied with the religious sects in Jerusalem and, in reaction, founded a "crisis cult".
