Any residual guilt I had from my Christianized childhood
regarding my true spiritual callings was finally laid asunder with
this book. Reading the history of the church and its machinations,
how "scripture" was manipulated to suit political policy really
opened my eyes and freed me to think about my connection with Divine
in complete intellectual freedom.
Written by the same authors as "Holy Blood, Holy Grail",
this book explores the possibilities and historical evidence that
Jesus was married, sired children and that his lineage continues.
Well researched and thought provoking.
The "bible" of Christian Science, this book sat on my
grandmother's dresser next to the Bible throughout my childhood.
Grandma would read to me out of both each night before bed. Grandma
was never fanatical about Christian Science (for instance, I DID go
to the doctor)but I believe these early experiences helped to shape
my deep belief in the healing power of the spirit.
Still the definitive spiritual book of the western world,
though often maligned, misquoted, and misinterpreted,
this ancient volume still contains a great deal of wisdom, history
and mysticism. Familiarity with it can only make your depth of
spiritual knowledge all the richer.
Ms. Pagels writes with flair and supports her work with
thorough research. I highly recommend all her books.
Another coup for Elaine Pagels. Your sense of Biblical
history will never be the same.
I haven't read this one yet, but I can't wait to get my copy!
