All three were baptised as [[Roman Catholic]]s when he was seven. His mother and journalist father died in the [[Holocaust]].

Vermes attended a Catholic seminary. When he was eligible for college, in 1942, Jews were not accepted into Hungarian universities<ref>http://forward.com/articles/176752/geza-vermes-hungarian-bible-scholar-who-returned-t/#ixzz2TSHw5Nz0</ref>.

After the [[Second World War]], he became a Roman Catholic priest, but was not admitted into the Jesuit or Dominican orders because of his Jewish ancestry. Vermes was accepted into the [[Order of the Fathers of Notre-Dame de Sion]]<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/17/world/europe/geza-vermes-dead-sea-scrolls-scholar-dies-at-88.html?_r=0</ref>, a French/Belgian order founded by Jewish converts<ref>http://www.economist.com/news/obituary/21578017-geza-vermes-jew-ex-priest-and-translator-dead-sea-scrolls-died-may-8th-aged Geza Vermes: Geza Vermes, a Jew, ex-priest and translator of the Dead Sea Scrolls, died on May 8th aged 88</ref> which prayed for Jews.<ref>http://forward.com/articles/176752/geza-vermes-hungarian-bible-scholar-who-returned-t/#ixzz2TSIZlL2A</ref>

He studied first in [[Budapest]] and then at the [[College St Albert]] and the [[Catholic University of Leuven]] in [[Belgium]], where he read [[Oriental]] history and languages. In 1953 obtained a doctorate in theology with the first dissertation written on the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] and its historical framework<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/17/world/europe/geza-vermes-dead-sea-scrolls-scholar-dies-at-88.html?_r=0</ref>.

After researching the scrolls in Paris for a few years, he left the Catholic Church in 1957, and reasserting his Jewish identity, came to [[UK|Britain]] and took up a teaching post at the [[Newcastle University|University of Newcastle upon Tyne]]. He married [[Pamela Hobson Curle]], a scholar and poet who was already married<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/17/world/europe/geza-vermes-dead-sea-scrolls-scholar-dies-at-88.html?_r=0</ref>.<ref>[http://www.stanford.edu/group/auden/cgi-bin/auden/branches.php?ged=auden-bicknell.ged&surn=HOBSON W.H.

== Academic career ==
Vermes was one of the first scholars to examine the Dead Sea Scrolls after their discovery in 1947, and is the author of the standard translation into [[English language|English]] of the Dead Sea Scrolls: <ref>, re-issued in London by Penguin Classics, as ''The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English'', 2004, ISBN 0-14-044952-3.</ref> He is one of the leading scholars in the field of the study of the historical Jesus (see Selected Publications, below) and together with Fergus Millar and Martin Goodman, Vermes was responsible for substantially revising [[Emil Schurer]]'s three-volume work, ''The History of the Jewish People in the Age of Jesus Christ'',<ref>Edinburgh, T. & T. Clark, 1973, ISBN 0-567-02242-0, 1979, ISBN 0-567-02243-9, 1986-87. ISBN 0-567-02244-7, ISBN 0-567-09373-5.</ref> His ''An Introduction to the Complete Dead Sea Scrolls,'' revised edition (2000), is a study of the collection at Qumran.<ref name="britannica.com">"Jesus Christ." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2010. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. 08 Nov. 2010 [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/303091/Jesus-Christ].</ref>

Until his death, he was a Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Emeritus Fellow of [[Wolfson College, Oxford]], but continued to teach at the [[Oriental Institute, Oxford|Oriental Institute]] in [[Oxford]]. He had edited the ''[[Journal of Jewish Studies]]''<ref name = "JJS">[http://www.jjs-online.net JJS Online].</ref> from 1971 to his death, and from 1991 he had been director of the Oxford Forum for [[Qumran]] Research at the [[Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies]]<ref>[http://www.ochjs.ac.uk/ Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies].</ref> He inspired the creation of the British Association for Jewish Studies (BAJS) in 1975 and of the European Association for Jewish Studies (EAJS) in 1981 and acted as founding president for both.

Vermes was a Fellow of the [[British Academy]]; a Fellow of the European Academy of Arts, Sciences and Humanities; holder of an Oxford D. Litt. (1988) and of honorary doctorates from the [[University of Edinburgh]] (1989), [[University of Durham]] (1990), [[University of Sheffield]] (1994) and the Central European University of Budapest (2008). He was awarded the Wilhelm Bacher Memorial Medal by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (1996), the Memorial Medal of the city of Makó, his place of birth (2008) and the keys of the cities of Monroe LA and Natchez MI (2009). He received a vote of congratulation from the U.S. House of Representatives, proposed by the Representative of Louisiana on 17 September 2009.

In the course of a lecture tour in the United States in September 2009, Vermes spoke at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, at Duke University in Durham NC, at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore MD, and at the University of Louisiana at Monroe and at Baton Rouge.

On 23 January 2012 Penguin Books celebrated at Wolfson College, Oxford, the golden jubilee of Vermes's ''The Dead Sea Scrolls in English'', which has sold an estimated half-a-million copies worldwide. A "Fiftieth anniversary" edition has been issued in the Penguin Classics series.

==Historical Jesus==
{{main|Historical Jesus}}
Vermes described Jesus as a 1st-century Jewish holy man, a commonplace view in academia but novel to the public when Vermes began publishing<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/17/world/europe/geza-vermes-dead-sea-scrolls-scholar-dies-at-88.html?_r=0</ref>. Contrary to certain other scholars (such as E. P. Sanders<ref name = "Sanders">Sanders, E. P. The historical figure of Jesus. Penguin, 1993.</ref>), Vermes concludes that Jesus did not reach out to non-Jews. For example, he attributes positive references to Samaritans in the gospels not to Jesus himself but to early Christian editing. He suggests that, properly understood, the historical Jesus is a figure that Jews should find familiar and attractive. This historical Jesus, however, is so different from the Christ of faith that Christians, says Vermes, may well want to rethink the fundamentals of their faith.<ref name="Vermesepi">Vermes, Geza. The authentic gospel of Jesus. London, Penguin Books. 2004. Epilogue. p. 398-417.</ref>

Important works on this topic include ''Jesus the Jew'' (1973), which describes Jesus as a thoroughly Jewish Galilean charismatic, and ''The Gospel of Jesus the Jew'' (1981), which examines Jewish parallels to Jesus’ teaching.<ref name="britannica.com"/>

Vermes believed it is possible "to retrieve the authentic Gospel of Jesus, his first-hand message to his original followers."<ref>Géza Vermes, "The great ''Da Vinci Code'' distraction", in ''[[The Times]]'', 6 May 2006. Article reproduced in Vermes, ''Searching For The Real Jesus: Jesus, The Dead Sea Scrolls and Other Religious Themes'' (SCM Press, 2009).
