Unfortunately, Acharya S. is woefully unfamiliar with the books ot the East. The bibliography at the end of her book, the Christ Conspiracy, contains only five pages of book references, none of which mentions a single Eastern source. Contrast her bibliography with the massive work written by the great Asian scholar, Kwaja Nazir Ahmad, who, in his book, Jesus in Heaven on Earth, included 13 full pages of bibliography that includes tons of Western and Eastern sources. We fail to understand how Acharya S. can authoritatively comment on the origin of the name Yuz when she has such scant knowledge of the Eastern sources. As an example, here we offer a quote from Khawaja Nazir Ahmad’s book that gives a full explanation of various possibilities of meanings of the name Yuz Asaf (And note the number of Asian book references he offers), though he finally settles on one definition: Since the people of Nisibis were out to kill Jesus, and he could not go far in a few days, Jesus traveled incognito
