Jesus in India

It begins with a former Fundamentalist from Texas, ousted from his provincial church for asking too many questions. Thus Edward T. Martin begins a seeker’s quest across 4000 miles of India, in search of answers about where Jesus was during the “Hidden Years” from ages 12 to 30. The New Testament is silent on those years, however in India there is an ancient tradition that young Jesus joined a caravan and took the Silk Road to the East, where He lived with both Hindus and Buddhists before returning to begin His ministry. To what extent are these traditions based on evidence? Why does the “Pope” of Hinduism now insist Jesus was in India? Why does world-renowned Biblical scholar Elaine Pagels of Princeton University say we cannot rule this out? Scholars and religious authorities are joined in this film by the Dalai Lama and an Apostolic Nuncio of Pope John Paul II. You will hear all sides, and you will be shocked and surprised by some of the answers offered for the Bible’s silence about JESUS IN INDIA.
