Unraveling the Family History of Jesus is a scholarly attempt to identify all of the personsrelated to Jesus from 100 BC to 100 AD.

Almost all of the significant persons mentioned in the New Testament were in fact related to Jesus in one way or another. Staring with the earliest Kings of Judea from 100 BC Mr. Norris shows which Kings were the great grandparents of Jesus. In making this discovery he puts flesh and blood on the names mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus found in the Gospel of Luke. For instance, the great grandfather of Jesus who is named Matthat in the gospel was in fact Antigonus Mattathias II, the last King of Judea of the Davidic line, executed in 39 BC by Herod the Great. His name has been hidden in history due to the fact that he was known by his Greek name, Antigonus, rather than his Jewish name, Mattathias. The famous historian Flavius Josephus only called him by his full name of Antigonus Mattathias II one time, after which he was only known as Antigonus. Thus it was unknown, until now, that the last Davidic King of Judea was in fact the great grandfather of Jesus.
