Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, copied by an anonymous monk. The manuscript is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century. And now, The Lost Gospel provides the first ever translation from Syriac into English of this unique document that tells the inside story of Jesus’ social, family, and political life.The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an unparalleled historical adventure through a paradigm shifting manuscript. What the authors eventually discover is as astounding as it is surprising: the confirmation of Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene; the names of their two children; the towering presence of Mary Magdalene; a previously unknown plot on Jesus’ life (thirteen years prior to the crucifixion); an assassination attempt against Mary Magdalene and their children; Jesus’ connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul—the Church of Mary Magdalene.Part historical detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia.
Book Synopsis The Aleppo Codex by : Matti Friedman
Download or read book The Aleppo Codex written by Matti Friedman and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature A thousand years ago, the most perfect copy of the Hebrew Bible was written. It was kept safe through one upheaval after another in the Middle East, and by the 1940s it was housed in a dark grotto in Aleppo, Syria, and had become known around the world as the Aleppo Codex. Journalist Matti Friedman’s true-life detective story traces how this precious manuscript was smuggled from its hiding place in Syria into the newly founded state of Israel and how and why many of its most sacred and valuable pages went missing. It’s a tale that involves grizzled secret agents, pious clergymen, shrewd antiquities collectors, and highly placed national figures who, as it turns out, would do anything to get their hands on an ancient, decaying book. What it reveals are uncomfortable truths about greed, state cover-ups, and the fascinating role of historical treasures in creating a national identity.
Book Synopsis The Gospel of Judas, Second Edition by : Rodolphe Kasser
Download or read book The Gospel of Judas, Second Edition written by Rodolphe Kasser and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 1,600 years its message lay hidden. When the bound papyrus pages of this lost gospel finally reached scholars who could unlock its meaning, they were astounded. Here was a gospel that had not been seen since the early days of Christianity, and which few experts had even thought existed–a gospel told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, history’s ultimate traitor. And far from being a villain, the Judas that emerges in its pages is a hero. In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas Iscariot is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus and is the one apostle who truly understands Jesus. Discovered by farmers in the 1970s in Middle Egypt, the codex containing the gospel was bought and sold by antiquities traders, secreted away, and carried across three continents, all the while suffering damage that reduced much of it to fragments. In 2001, it finally found its way into the hands of a team of experts who would painstakingly reassemble and restore it. The Gospel of Judas has been translated from its original Coptic to clear prose, and is accompanied by commentary that explains its fascinating history in the context of the early Church, offering a whole new way of understanding the message of Jesus Christ.

Book Synopsis Codex of Fallen Angel Offspring by : Tkw
Download or read book Codex of Fallen Angel Offspring written by Tkw and published by . This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angels are real, some of them fell and became known as fallen angels. They came from Heaven to the earth, there is proof in the bible and in history about what they did. The bible speaks of their offspring as giants, world history speaks of the offspring of "the gods" as giants. Is their a difference? The "sons of Seth" doctrine teaches that the "sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6: were merely regular humans i.e. the "righteous line of Seth" who produced the giants. I will include the verse for those not familiar with Genesis 6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. The information presented in this book reveals the falseness of the "sons of Seth" doctrine and sets the record straight about who the "sons of God" who "took wives" from the daughters of men actually were...And now, an in depth preview of the rest of the book...The Bible speaks of giants using names like Nephilim, Rephaim, Zamzumim, Zuzim, Emim and others. History speaks of giants using names like Si Te Cah, Annunaki, Aloadai, Formorian and others. The Bible describes giants as at least 13 feet tall and even much taller having 6 fingers and 6 toes on each hand and foot. History describes giants as at least 13 feet and much taller, skeletons of races of giants have been unearthed having 6 fingers and 6 toes on each hand and foot and many of them with double rows of teeth. The bible speaks of the "sons of God" the binai ha Elohim mating with women and producing giants and "mighty men" as you will see from this book the bible is clear that these "sons of God" were angels/celestial beings. Ancient cultures like Sumeria, Greece, Rome, Africa and others also speak of celestial beings mating with women and producing giants and super human men. The goal of this book is to confirm the bible through history and to confirm history through the bible. The bible is history, what has happened in ancient and recent times is also history. The various comparisons you will see in this book will show clearly that the giants and fallen angels of the bible are present throughout world history under different names. Moreover, this book will show the undeniable association between the gods/celestial beings, fallen angels and giants of ancient times.

Download or read book Creating Jesus written by Dennis Kennedy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating Jesus is a book for general readers on the Gospel of Mark as the earliest surviving witness of the life of Yeshua of Nazareth. Dennis Kennedy applies his expertise in literary and performance studies to examining Mark as a literary and historical document and describes in straightforward style how it differs from the other Gospels, what it meant in its time, and how it has been used in history. He investigates the oral Jesus tradition before Mark, the radical act of writing about a crucified preacher from the hinterland, the expansion of the Messiah cult in the Roman Empire, and the character of the faith that the earliest Gospel proposes. Interspersed with incidents from Kennedy’s own education, Creating Jesus seeks to reveal why Mark was written, the great influence it has had, and how it might question the nature of Christianity in the present.
Book Synopsis Taking Caesar out of Jesus by : Robert M. Wills
Download or read book Taking Caesar out of Jesus written by Robert M. Wills and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus is the center of Christian faith and the Bible is its holy book, its sacred scriptures. For hundreds of years, this meant that Jesus was divine and the Bible was a divine product. This remains the primary perspective for many Christians today. However, it has mutated appreciably for others. It is not that Jesus is no longer thought of as the center of Christian faith or the Bible as Christianitys sacred scriptures. Those remain true for everyone. However, studies in biblical criticism and the historical Jesus suggest Jesus was a Palestinian Jew a human being -- not different in that respect from you and me. Divinity was bestowed upon him by his followers, and eventually took the form of imperial divinity after the example of Caesar. This presents a conundrum for Christianity. What, for instance, is Christianity to do with a human being at its center? How has Christianity accommodated imperial rule? What do we do with those imperial titles by which he is known Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and Son of God? Taking Caesar out of Jesus presents a new portrait of Jesus based on solid historical evidence assembled from the works of hundreds of critical biblical scholars. As the subtitle proclaims, Jesus emerges from this book as a new figure, relevant to the 21st century. Some will say this new perspective destroys Christianity. Others will find Jesus to be far more believable and compelling. Anyone will find this progressive approach to uncovering the historical Jesus thought-provoking. This book, however, goes beyond biblical criticism and a new portrait of the historical Jesus. It confronts the Christian proclamation that Jesus is humanitys savior including the notion that it needs a savior. It suggests that the historical Jesus never embraced the well-known notion of divine salvation. To the contrary, Jesus embraced Judaisms wisdom tradition. In the wisdom tradition, a person deals with the exigencies of life by developing a new vision of reality, and by acting differently. Jesus did not provide an instruction manual for living; rather, he pointed us in the direction of self-management. As described in this book, this new way of living, taken from Jesuss parables and aphorisms, will startle some, and stir others toward greater maturity and responsibility for their own lives.
Book Synopsis The Forgiveness of Sins by : Tim Carter
Download or read book The Forgiveness of Sins written by Tim Carter and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Forgiveness of Sins, Tim Carter examines the significance of forgiveness in a New Testament context, delving deep into second-century Christian literature on sin and the role of the early church in mitigating it. This crucial spiritual issue is at the core of what it means to be Christian, and Carter's thorough and erudite examination of this theme is a necessity for any professional or amateur scholar of the early church. Carter's far-reaching analysis begins with St Luke, who is often accused of weakness on the subject of atonement, but who in fact uses the phrase 'forgiveness of sins' more frequently than any other New Testament author. Carter explores patristic writers both heterodox and orthodox, such as Marcion, Justin Martyr and Origen. He also deepens our understanding of Second Temple Judaism and the theological context in which Christian ideas about atonement developed. Useful to both the academic and the pastoral theologian, The Forgiveness of Sins is a painstaking, clear-eyed exploration of what forgiveness meant not only to early Christians such as Tertullian, Irenaeus and Luke, but to Jesus himself, and what it means to Christians today.
