		Eisenman, like many scholars from non-orthodox perspectives, begins with the idea that all sources are on an equal footing as far as their ability to convey useful information.
		Eisenman concludes that Paul’s mission is to redirect Jewish messianism, its violent, anti-Roman, nationalistic, xenophobic ideology represented, and led, by James, into a peaceful, spiritual messianic religion presided over by a Christ-figure who is as apolitical as Santa Claus.
		Finally, Eisenman often descends into unjustified hyperbole — although sometimes this is a welcome relief from the soporific effects of the two hundred and eighty-fifth example of the „Power“ - imagery, or the one hundred and tenth reference to „linen“.

	Robert Eisenman's "James the Brother of Jesus": A Higher-Critical Review
		Eisenman notes (as of course all commentators do) that there is no room for the famine relief visit in Galatians' itinerary of Paul's visits to Jerusalem, but he ventures to place the event during Paul's sojourn in "Arabia," which in the parlance of the time could include Edessa/Adiabene.
		Eisenman cites the Talmud's notice that the Rechabites (=Nazirites) used to marry the daughters of the High Priests.
		Eisenman does threaten to obscure his own case here by overkill, citing lots of terminology shared by Paul and Qumran, sometimes used in different senses, and insisting that they reflect mutual ridicule and refutation, but the major instances are striking.

	F.A.Q. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The latest is from the pen of Californian scholar, Robert Eisenman, arguing that James, Jesus' brother, was the real hero of early Christianity and that he has been denied his rightful place only by a nasty conspiracy on the part of admirers of Saints Peter and Paul.
		Eisenman argues, further, that the Gospels are part of a conspiracy to discredit `the holy family' and to write them out of the story of early Christianity.
		Eisenman's crowning thesis is that James was the real continuator of the teaching of Jesus and that what we today know as Christianity was an invention of St Paul's.

	James the Brother of Jesus by Robert Eisenman
		Robert Eisenman, one of the most eminent researchers of early Christianity working today, has produced an exhaustive study of the historical milieu at the time of Jesus and come to the conclusion that James, rather than Peter, was heir to his teachings.
		Eisenman makes good use of "the normal canons of historical argument and literary analysis" particulary as they have developed in redaction criticism of the bible.
		Robert Eisenman looks at Christianity from a detailed historical perspective, and concludes that James of the early Church in Jerusalem was meant to be the spiritual heir to Jesus' ministry and life.

	ABC Radio National - Encounter Transcript 26 July 1997
		Robert Crotty: Well you've got these traditions in some of those early writings which say that he was sort of an alternate high priest, that he went into the holy of holies to pray, that he wore the robes of the high priest.
		Robert Eisenman goes out of his way to draw parallels between the two communities, and he also draws parallels between James and the teacher of righteousness who's identified in the Dead Sea Scrolls which belong to the Essene community.
		Robert Eisenman: I say that James is the closest thing to what the righteous teacher would have looked like, and he was called "The Righteous One", that's pretty good proof right there, but we don't say that he absolutely was.

		Eisenman studied Hebrew and Near East studies at New York University, and received his Ph.D. in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures from Columbia University in 1971, where he became fluent in Hebrew and Arabic.
		Eisenman says that of all his accomplishments, he is most proud of his 1997 book release "James the Brother of Jesus," a 1,000 page magnum opus, which will be available as a Penguin paperback this month.
		Eisenman is a founding member of the religious studies department at CSULB, and served as chairman intermittently from 1979 to 1989.

	HSB: James, Brother of Jesus
		Eisenman, therefore, chooses to place more confidence in extra-biblical writings, especially the Dead Sea Scrolls, for understanding James and his role in early Christianity; he takes every opportunity to deprecate the writings of the New Testament (except where they can be pressed into service to strengthen his case).
		Eisenman's arguments make it clear the James was a strict observer of Jewish law, a Nazarite, and unwilling to compromise with foreigners in general and with the Roman Empire and their Herodian puppet kings in particular.
		Eisenman's favorite word in James, the Brother of Jesus "tendentious" is just what this argument is. Eisenman's basic assumption--a conspiracy theory that orthodox Christianity has subverted the message of its Founder(s)--is not very original.

	Robert Eisenman's "James the brother of Jesus"
		Eisenman divides Palestine of Jesus's time into two power blocks: the rulers and the populists.
		Eisenman is well known for believing that the major figures of the dead sea scrolls, the Teacher of Righteousness and the Wicked Priest, can be identified as James and Paul.
		Eisenman makes many connections between the early Christian sources on James and the Dead Sea scrolls, but a layman cannot evaluate his scholarship.

		Eisenman and colleagues used Drosophila to study where Myc (and its associated proteins, Max and Mnt) binds to in the fly genome.
		By expressing a fusion protein of the bacterial Dam methylase enzyme with Myc in fly cells, Dr. Eisenman and colleagues were able to mark each region of Myc binding with methyl groups.

	The Dead Sea Scrolls contradict the Qur'an:
		Eisenman observes that one of the major stumbling blocks for the publication of the scrolls was that "in the first place, the team was hardly international").
		Robert Eisenman was one of the key players in the drama that finally lead to the release of the scrolls.
		Yet, Eisenman and Wise might still be correct about some of the dates, although their assessment of the Qumran writings as Christian is unlikely to be correct since the scrolls themselves testify against that.

		In this profound and provocative work of scholarly detection, eminent biblical scholar Robert Eisenman introduces a startling theory about the identity of James -- the brother of Jesus, who was almost entirely marginalized in the New Testament.
		Drawing on long-overlooked early Church texts and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Eisenman reveals in this groundbreaking exploration that James, not Peter, was the real successor to the movement we now call "Christianity."

		That was proof, Eisenman said, that Israel has assumed a "monopoly" over the scrolls and that authorities here are not ready to countenance study of the texts by others.

		The researcher whose name I couldn't remember is Robert Eisenman, who is, according to Biblical Archaeology Review, Chairperson of the Religious Studies Department and professor of Middle East religions at California State University.
		Eisenman obtained a computer print-out of a list of scrolls held by the Ecole and found that ten fragments or copies of the Damascus Document have been recovered, and these are probably older and more complete than the one found in Cairo (The Qumran Damascus Documents haven't been released).
		Eisenman believes that a person referred to as The Liar in the scrolls is Paul, which indicates how great the differences between the two probably were.

	James the Brother of Jesus - Robert H. Eisenman - Penguin Group (USA)
		In this profound and provocative work of scholarly detection, eminent biblical scholar Robert Eisenman introduces a startling theory about the identity of James—the brother of Jesus, who was almost entirely marginalized in the New Testament.
		James is presented as not simply the leader of Christianity of his day, but the popular Jewish leader of his time, whose death triggered the Uprising against Rome—a fact that creative rewriting of early Church documents has obscured.
		In delineating the deliberate falsifications in New Testament dcouments, Eisenman shows how—as James was written out—anti-Semitism was written in.

		Publisher’s Abstract: “In a profound and provocative work of scholarly detection, Eisenman establishes James—a figure almost entirely marginalized in the New Testament—as the leader of all opposition groups in Jerusalem of his day and spiritual heir of his famous brother Jesus.
		Robert Eisenman lives in a world of fantasy where all of the elements have conspired against him.
		We strongly suggest that you ignore this book, as well as the next one that is promised (though it has now been 5 years!), and take your own place in Eisenman’s global conspiracy theory.
