Hugh
Joseph Schonfield (London,
17 May 1901 – 24 January 1988, London) was a British Bible scholar specialising
in the New Testament and the early development of the Christian religion
and church. He was born in London, and educated there at St Paul's School and King's College, doing
postgraduate religious studies in the University of Glasgow,
Doctor of Sacred Literature. He was one of the founders and president of World At one time he was president of the H.G. Wells Society. He founded the of World
Citizens, in 1956. Schonfield
was a liberal Hebrew Christian. In 1937 Schonfield was expelled from the
Executive Committee of International
Hebrew Christian Alliance (IHCA), of which he had been a member
since 1925, (this organisation is now the International
Messianic Jewish Alliance or IMJA). He later associated with
Messianic Judaism for a while, but was bitterly disillusioned by the experience.
Schonfield was one of the original Dead Sea Scrolls team members. Schonfield wrote over 40
books including commercially successful books in the fields of history and
biography as well as religion. In 1958 his non-ecclesiastical historical
translation of the New Testament was published in the UK and the US,
titled The Authentic New Testament. This aimed to show without
idealised interpretation the meaning intended by the writers while maintaining
the original structures. A revised version appeared in 1985 titled The
Original New Testament. In 1965 he published the controversial The Passover Plot, a book the thesis of which is that
the Crucifixion was part of a larger, conscious attempt by
Jesus to fulfill the Messianic expectations rampant in his time, and that the
plan went unexpectedly wrong. Schonfield followed The Passover Plot with
a sequel in 1968, Those Incredible Christians. This was also
described as controversial, but had less impact than the earlier book. An
additional aspect of his work was the revision of the Hebrew writing system In The New Hebrew
Typography, published in 1932, he argued for a significantly revised
version of the Hebrew alphabet modelled
after the Latin alphabet, including
a capital-lowercase distinction, no final forms, a vertical emphasis, and
serifs. This alphabet has not been adopted.
