I have read bits and pieces of the information contained in this book during my Historical Jesus meanderings. However, this book is the culmination of very many years study by this author on his cross cultural search for the truth of the historical Jesus.

This book is though not well written like Herger Kolsten's 'Jesus lived in India' is better than Kolsten's book. It is not offensive. But I do not agree with the author's view on the life of Jesus.
