Book excerpt: Written by the public interest lawyer who published the suppressed Dead Sea Scrolls and prosecuted The Holocaust Case, The Way of Righteousness draws upon ancient hidden documents and the latest archaeological discoveries, to reveal the amazingly true story about the historical Jesus and his brave band of brothers. Lost for almost 2,000 years, the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic Gospels reveal the background and message of Jesus, his twin, Judas Thomas, James the Just, Simeon the Warrior Priest, and Joseph the Comforter, and their constant companion Mary Magdalene. They were the Messiahs, Priests, Warriors, and the Spirit of Wisdom of the Way of Righteousness, the spiritual and factual foundation of present monotheism. The Way tells the truth about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It establishes their common roots, demonstrates their differences, exposes their flaws, and reveals their secrets. The Way is a condensation of a well-stocked library on religious matters, world affairs, and human history. It unites the collective minds of the ages into a brilliant focus on the problems of our time. The Way not only combines this vital information in an eminently readable text, but it refines that knowledge into the insights required to reconcile differences and to bind together antagonistic religions in a healing evolution of common belief. The Way is an optimistic philosophy for the future--one that questioning young people can trust and believe in, as they break through the shell of ignorance that impedes them, as they avoid human extinction, and as they make the brave leap from Earth into the eternal cosmos. A Modern Miracle In 1946--just after the atomic bombs exploded over Japanese cities, and as UFOs began to appear in skies around the world--the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Gnostic Gospels were discovered by Muslim shepherds and farmers sealed in jars buried as early as the first century. This literary wealth of scrolls and codices reveal the ancient history of the people of Jesus, and--picking up about 200 years before his natural birth by his mother Mary--the true story of the religion practiced by her family and the people of Palestine-Israel. Most everyone lived simple lives of righteousness under Abraham's ancient covenant, and they served the spirit of the law. They were the Osim, an acronym of the Hebrew, "Doers of the Law," and they also referred to themselves as the Way, or the Poor. The Osim maintained their own written books of the ancient Torah and interpretations of the Prophets, but they entirely discounted the oral law of the Pharisees and avoided worship in the polluted Temple, when attended by the corrupt Sadducee priests. Both of these minority sects collaborated with the Romans against the people. Fighting the Empire and the police state administered by King Herod and his descendants, the people--who were "zealous" for the spirit of the Law--resisted with words in their scrolls, but they also fought with swords in a fierce defense of their families and ancient culture. These Sons of Light were led into battle against the Sons of Darkness by the Osim's alternative priesthood, the Sons of Zadok (Righteousness). These Zealots fought off the Herodian and Roman armies for years, until finally Jerusalem was leveled, everyone was killed, and 100,000 children and youths were taken away as slaves. The last remnant of Zealots occupied Herod's fortress at Masada, and they buried their books and committed suicide, rather than to surrender to the power of empire. Thirty miles from Jerusalem, near the Dead Sea, is Qumran, where the Osim maintained their spiritual refuge. The Way hid their scrolls in sealed jars within nearby caves, where they were concealed for almost 2,000 years--until now.
