 Flusser published over 1,000 articles in Hebrew, German, English, and other languages.The results of his many academic writings can be found in his book, "Jesus" (1965), whose augmented second edition "The Sage from Galilee" (1998) was updated to incorporate his later research and views on Jesus.One of Flusser's views which was particularly influential in Germany, being taken up and advocated also by Joachim Jeremias, was the suggestion that the name "Yeshu" used of Jesus in the Talmud was "in no way abusive" but was in fact a Galilean dialect version, since according to Flusser, Galileans found the final ayin of the name Yeshua difficult to pronounce.
