Review
"Do we really need another book purporting to dig fresh insights out of the New Testament? The surprising answer provided by A Shift in Time is a resounding,'Yes!'" —Mark Adams, best-selling author of Meet Me in Atlantis and Turn Right At Machu Picchu"What if historians cannot find Jesus because they have been looking in the wrong places? Or, more to the point, the wrong time? That is the suggestion of television documentarian turned New Testament scholar Lena Einhorn, based on a bold and eye-opening new reading of Josephus. Sometimes it takes new eyes to see old things. While she may not convince everyone, her presentation of sources is so meticulous and clear, no one will be able to say after reading A Shift in Time they have not benefitted by immensely widening their horizons and immeasurably increasing their insight." —Professor Robert Eisenman, Author of James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code“Lena Einhorn shows that there is still gold in Josephus for New Testament researchers to mine. What a fascinating, striking hypothesis! In the manner described by Thomas Kuhn in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, she makes a fresh start from the "anomalous data" which stumped the conventional paradigm and makes it central to a bold new paradigm. The gauntlet is thrown!” —Robert M. Price, Johnnie Colemon Theological Seminary“Most readers of this book, and especially New Testament scholars, will find its thesis unpalatable and even unacceptable. They should for that reason take its evidence and argument seriously, not just as positive historical proposals but as a challenge to traditional reconstructions of the life and precise setting of Jesus of Nazareth. Those who trust the Gospel portraits as reasonably accurate historically will encounter an alternative that challenges such trust; those who consider these portraits to be substantially products of social memory will also find valuable clues to historical events that may have fashioned that memory. At the very least, this book should make us think.” —Philip R. Davies, Professor emeritus of Biblical studies at the University of Sheffield, Former Director for the Centre for the Study of the Dead Sea Scrolls

On discovering the title of this book on the internet I felt joy, connection and curiosity, as I have been conducting chronological research on the origins of Christianity myself. I ordered and read the book immediately, and now I take the opportunity to write this review, which means something quite special to me. Most of all I see Einhorn as a companion on the road to a full understanding of the origins of Christianity, even though our conclusions on the real course of events are slightly different.Reading the New Testament Einhorn discovered many subtle references to rebellious activity. But when reading Josephus’s Jewish War and Antiquities she ascertained that rebellious activity was low in the years of Jesus’ ministry (around 30 CE) but that it steeply rose after 44 CE. Einhorn discovered several parallels between events or persons in the ‘earlier’ New Testament and in the ‘later’ Josephus. This brings her to the core of her ‘time shift’ theory: that Jesus was not active under Pontius Pilate but about 20 years later. According to Einhorn the Gospel writers have deliberately shifted the events back in time from the 50s to the 30s of the first century CE because the real founding story was too anti-Roman to be told overtly.The greatest merit of this book is the clear discussion of the rebellious activity in the middle of the first century CE and its relation to early Christianity as a rebellious faction. The main parallel in her book is the one between Jesus of the Gospels and the rebel leader called the Egyptian in Josephus. Although there are similarities between the two stories, there are major differences also, so in my opinion this parallel is not really convincing.This brings me to my most important criticism of Einhorn’s theory. Although most of her observations are interesting and worth considering in themselves, Einhorn only explores the first years when rebellious activity rose after a period of relative calm. In a few sentences she touches the culminating period of the rebellion, the war of the Jews against the Romans (66-70 CE), and discusses a couple of parallels during that period, but an in-depth discussion of this period is missing. In my opinion the strongest parallels with the Gospels are to be found not in Josephus’s Jewish War and Antiquities but in his Life. In the first part of the great rebellion, end 66 to mid-67 CE, Josephus was in Galilea as organizer of the rebellion, and it is in his description of this period (together with an event at the end of the siege of Jerusalem) that the most powerful parallels are to be found. It really is a pity that Einhorn, who is so familiar with Josephus’ works in general, has overlooked the most powerful fragments. She also limits herself to the New Testament and to Josephus, while the wider literature of the time (the Apostolic Fathers, the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and the Dead Sea Scrolls) is also important when researching the true origins of Christianity, not only in the sense of parallel events (here Josephus remains the most important partner) but also in supporting secondary clues and in the understanding of the mindset of the messianistic rebellious movement of the era. The most important conclusion of my research is a 40-year time shift.Therefore I advise everyone interested in the working method of the Gospel writers and in the historical truth about the origins of Christianity to read Einhorn’s book alongside my ‘A Chronological Revision of the Origins of Christianity’.
A shift in time reads more like a series of lectures than a literary work. - I understand this is because the substance of the book was produced that way, with lectures by Lena Einhorn in settings with peers. The book would have gained from a tighter edit, but this however does not change the fact that it is a page-turner. It is a book that changed my understanding of New-Testament events.In her previous book (with the Swedish title "Vad hände på vägen till Damaskus?" / "What happened on the Road to Damascus" / English: "The Jesus Mystery") Einhorns (Swedish) writing was more literary in style. That book was also a page-turner, and was humbly, but lucidly written and quite superbly researched. I savored every aha-moment.Her main thesis in that book is however quite speculative. Few readers probably bought into the main-thesis. Sadly, this might have influenced the books “popularity†negatively. (This is just an assumption by me, not something I know). I highly recommend that book as well! I may re-read it.In "A Shift In Time" her new thesis is different and seems much more solid. Though the book was clearly not written in a vacuum, as far as I understand it is quite revolutionary.I am not a historian nor a theologian, but I imagine a "before" and "after" this book. Einhorns excellent study will probably alter our view and framing of many events and create a base for much further study into the time of the New Testament and Jesus’ life.It shifted my understanding, and I believe it will shift most non-dogmatic readers’ minds.
Yes, for decades I have been reading the New Testament along with Josephus and have noticed the baffling time differences between historical events in Acts (for instance), Revelation and Josephus - I calculated about 20 years. And sure enough, Lena Einhorn, it a sequel to book The Jesus Mystery, tracks down every "shift" I found and many more. A few 'for instances': the birth of Jesus - over a decade later in Luke than Matthew, several events in the Acts can be compared to similar events in Josephus, who dates them 20 years later, Judas the Galilean and Theudas in Acts 5 - mis-dated and corrected in Josephus, with the "Egyptian" of the Acts and the "Egyptian" of Josephus 20 years difference. Einhorn really doesn't make much of a case for WHY; rather, she leaves it up to the reader to decide that. Yes, this is easily read, written for lay people (but probably not for the inerrancy crowd), and I found several of her comparisons to be fascinating. It really doesn't answer my inquiries, but it begs me to keep looking.
Intelligent historical fact, parallels with KNOWN fact, interesting how the later church moved everything around to support their building of the church. In reality, truth is better than fiction and, if anything, this reinforces the peaceful nature of Christ - a man living in violent times who surrendered himself to avoid bloodshed. Written, documented, history does not lie - a very important book.
The seller delivered the product as advertised, and in excellent condition. Great buy.
One of the most brilliant books on the New Testament I ever read. This book deserves lots of furtherresearch into its premises in a serious way. I can't wait to read Dr. Einhorn's next book.
A bit of a stretch, but Einhorn provokes thought and provides questions from the original texts.
GREAT DETECTIVE WORK. SHOULD MAKE ANY REASONABLE PERSON RETHINK ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT AND ALL THE CHARACTERS IN IT . I THINK THE TIME SHIFT THEORY SHOULD BE STUDIED MORE. GREAT BOOK !
