Gospel of the Essenes

Rating:
Summary: new age nonsense
Review: I find it difficult to believe that the Vatican would give a student access to secret archives that no other scholar has ever heard of. But that's how the author claimed he came across this secret gospel.
This is a hodge-podge of quotes from the Gospels and from the Dead Sea Scrolls with some of the author's new-age beliefs thrown in. Ancient Palestinian Jews did not personify nature the way this does. This is clearly new-age fiction and it is ..... to pass it off as anything else.

Summary: Absolute must reading for all Christians
Review: I have read Book 2 of the Gospel of the Essenes and there are abosultely no earthly words to describe this fantastic work and how it relates to all of Christianity. It was written in the time of Jesus and there is no doubt with the unearthing of the Dead Sea Scrolls that Jesus visited the Brotherhood of the Essenes, an early Jewish sect and was heavily influenced by their deep reverence for spirituality and God. There is no doubt that this book will take anyone spitually inclined-Jew, Christian, Muslim, etc. much, much closer to God. Highly recommended. A deeper understanding of early religions and how ancient peoples may have been closer to the truth of God than anything in modern religions.

Summary: Beautifully written.
Review: Magestically mysterious...although I do not see any Christian influence besides what it "tells" example the sayings of Jesus, it is more Paganistic than anything, which sheds a whole new light on what the true teachings of Christ were! Could he have been a Pagan Sorcerer? I believe so.

Summary: if you knowith these things you knowith enough
Review: This book gives us back the wisdom that was taken from us in the interests of priestcraft. The logic and science of the Essenes should be put in the hands of every preacher, rabbi, politician, teacher, and human being who has been affected by western civilization and organized religion.

Review: This book was astounding; beautifully poetic in its simplicity. If we all followed the guidelines in this book, there would be little strife. Truly lyrical....provoking.
