The Origins of Christianity in the Calendar Wars of the Second Century BCE

This clearly-argued work uses the 364-day liturgical calendar and its followers the Notsrim to link together Jesus and the earliest Christians, the Jewish civil war prompted by calendrical change in the mid second century BCE, the Maccabees and Hasmonaean kings, the revolt against Rome in 66-70 CE, and the curse on the nôṣrîm in the Birkat ha-minim of the synagogue prayer, the Amidah.
