JESUS & THE LOST GODDESS *Hardcover

This exciting work of groundbreak­ing scholarship from the authors of The Jesus Mysteries adds new depth to the debate on the relationship between Chris­tianity and Paganism. No strangers to controversy, Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy present their revolutionary ideas about who the original Christians really were and what they actually taught.

Drawing on meticulous research, the authors decode the extraordinary myths of Jesus and the Goddess to unlock the lost secret teachings of Christian mysticism, which promise happiness and immortality to those who attain the state of Gnosis, or enlightenment. This astonishing book recovers the ancient wisdom of the original Christians and demonstrates its relevance to us today. It will not only transform your understanding of Chris­tianity but also change how you see your life. It will change who you think you are.

'Rarely have the roots of Christianity been disentangled to such disturbing effect. I shall never be able to read the gospels in the same way again.' -Roger Bolton, presenter of BBC Radio 4's The Sunday Programme

'A wonderful blend of detective story, historical research and clear thinking. The time for the inner mysteries of Christianity to be brought out of the closet is long overdue, and this book is a powerful and courageous voice for the cause.' -Roger Housden, author of Sacred America

'As the Jesus Mysteries Thesis becomes more widely known, and if it begins to be accepted, it is clear that the implications are revolutionary. It is likely to become one of the most important religious debates of the twenty-first century.' -Cecily Taylor, Quaker Monthly
