Julian Doyle: Esoteric Jesus, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

ESOTERIC - Confined to, and understandable only by an enlightened inner circle. From the Greek esōterikos,"belonging to an inner circle" The term 'esoteric' is used here to define a body of knowledge that was deliberately hidden or made inaccessible to the wider public by those who controlled the Jesus narrative, but has been known and communicated in plain sight, betweencertain significant defiant initiates. This is not a conspiracy theory but a tightly argued investigation that treats the Gospelsas evidence. not untouchable dogma. Along the way, it engages with Naasene philosophy, early heretical traditions and famous, esoteric Renaissance images, opening a richer, more unsettling picture of how Christianity first took shape. Esoteric Jesus will fascinate anyone interested in biblical scholarship, religious history, and makes it clear why devout Christians had to be tortured and burnt at the stake. It unravels their beliefs forcing you to rethink the origins Jesus' story, not by rejecting the texts, but by finally taking their contents seriously.
