News of The Jesus Dynasty from Abroad
I have mentioned before that The Jesus Dynasty has now sold in over 20 languages worldwide. The first to come out is the Japanese edition, just released from Sofbank Creative, Inc. It is a truly lovely edition, hardcover and fully illustrated. I anticipate a lot of interest from the Japanese who have a great fascination with Christianity, Jesus, and particularly historical studies of Jesus. I thought readers might be interested in the cover design and perhaps some of you read Japanese or know those who do and would want to obtain a copy of the Japanese edition:
Recently when I was in Israel I filmed a TV segment with ZDF Public Television in Germany for the prime-time show called Aspekte. Although the German edition of The Jesus Dynasty will not be released until October, 2006, the first segment of the ZDF production: ‘New on the Family of Jesus” will run tomorrow night, July 14th, on German television at 10:30p.m. local time in Germany (EST in the US is six hours earlier or 4:30 p.m.), which will be followed up by a second show timed to coincide with the book’s release in October. The program Aspekte can also be viewed via Livestream on the Internet, though it is of course in German with my interview voiced over.
