THE CHOSEN
By Dean R. Eyerly
Book review by Michael Radon
Dean R. Eyerly’s The Chosen: When Jesus Became God on Earth presents a meticulously researched examination of the historical and cultural evolution of Jesus’ identity as both a historical figure and a divine entity. Drawing from pivotal texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi Codices, and Josephus’s Jewish War, the book blends archaeological discoveries with theological debates to shed new light on the roots of Christianity.
From the pre-Easter “Earthly” Jesus to the post-Easter “Divine” portrayal, Eyerly constructs a compelling narrative that challenges traditional interpretations while offering a fresh perspective on the development of Christian doctrine. The book traces the early Christian movement within Judaism, its eventual separation, and Apostle Paul’s transformative role in redefining Jesus’ mission for a broader, Greco-Roman audience.
Eyerly’s prose is both scholarly and accessible, making complex theological and historical discussions engaging for a wide readership. His balanced treatment of controversial topics, such as the assimilation of pagan practices and the exclusion of certain texts by early Church leaders, reflects a commitment to presenting “unvarnished history.”
Particularly notable is the book’s focus on marginalized narratives, including the significance of Mary Magdalene in early teachings and the contributions of Jewish sects like the Essenes. Eyerly offers a comprehensive and courageous analysis, exploring sensitive subjects like the politicization of Jesus’ image and the shift from his role as a Jewish rabbi to a central figure in a new religion.
While its extensive scope may challenge some readers, The Chosen provides thought-provoking insights and a nuanced understanding of Jesus’ historical and theological journey. This work stands as a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of history, religion, and culture.A bold and enlightening investigation into the historical Jesus and the origins of Christianity.
