The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ

by Nicolas Notovitch, J H Connelly (Translator), L Landsberg (Translator)

Overview

There is much speculation about where and how Jesus spent his twenties. The bible does not tell us anything about his life during this time. This book by the Russian doctor Nicolas Notovitch is the source of the idea that he might have spent this time in India. The book contains a travelogue of the author's trip through India. Whilst convalescing from a broken leg an ancient manuscript is read to him about Issa. The manunscript allegedly tells of Jesus (Issa) as he treks through India studying the Vedas and Buddhism before he returns to Israel and take up his ministry as it is described in the bible. Even though the authenticity, or indeed the existence, of the manuscript has never been proven, the rumours of St Issa have refused to die.
