The Brook Kerith: A Syrian Story (1916) is a novel by George Moore.
Abstract
In this acclaimed novel, Jesus is depicted as, prior to his ministry, a member of the Essene brotherhood. Under John the Baptist's influence he becomes a teacher; then, after passing through stages of hopefulness and despair, he undergoes crucifixion without, however, really dying. Eventually Jesus returns to the Essenes by the Brook Kerith and there meets Paul.
