Having the appearance of a tenth- or eleventh-century copy of a first-century composition, The Testimony of Nathan Son of Isaac Concerning Jesus of Nazareth purports to be an account by a contemporary of Jesus who actually knew him. This slender volume is a preliminary translation of the Greek text of the Testimony, undertaken while its authenticity and provenance are still being investigated. Ben Armhardt is the temporary nom de plume assumed by the New Testament scholar who produced the translation.
