Robert Crompton is a novelist and a retired Methodist minister. In “How to Write a Gospel” he takes a break from novel-writing and retraces a journey through the stories of the Bible.
This journey has brought him to The Gospel of Eleazar, a retelling of the story of Jesus (aka Yeshua), but without the miraculous and without the supernatural. It is set in the real world of real people. It isn't history and it isn't biblical study. It's story-telling and the author hopes you will agree that it is one worth telling even though, in the end we may never be able to answer that tantalizing question, "What really happened?"
The cover illustration refers to two major sources for Judeo-Christian thinking about the role of Messiah. One is a facsimile of a portion of the Great Isaiah Scroll from among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The other is a page of the author’s own draft notes about apocalyptic visions in the book of Daniel.
