The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ

This eBook contains the text of The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ by Nicolas Notovitch. The Unknown Life purports to be a biography of Jesus during his teens and twenties, a period not described in the Bible. The text relates that Jesus travelled to India with a community of merchants and there studied the sacred texts of Hinduism and Buddhism. Jesus remained in India for over a decade, absorbing indigenous religious teachings as well as preaching against idolatry and the caste system.

Notovitch – a nineteenth century Russian aristocrat, soldier, journalist and spy – claimed to have discovered the manuscript of The Unknown Life at the monastery of Hemis in Ladakh, India. Claims of the validity of The Unknown Life were challenged at the time of publication in 1894. The Unknown Life is largely (though not universally) considered to be a hoax today.
