Gospel of the Unknown Jesus The Secret Teachings of Jesus from the Apocryphal and Gnostic Gospel

During the fourth and fifth centuries of the Common Era -- in an attempt to wipe out heresy -- hundreds of early Christian texts were destroyed by order of the Roman emperor, Constantine, and the bishops of the Church of Rome. Thought to have been lost for all time, many of these "heretical" gospels, epistles, apocalypses and apocryphons have been re-discovered during modern times. Other non-canonical texts survived history in whole, or in fragmentary form, and became part of the New Testament Apocrypha. Fragments of still other lost works survived in the form of quotations found in the writings of the early Church fathers. Now for the first time ever, the most profound and eloquent of Jesus' lost teachings from thirty-four of these texts (as well as many isolated sayings attributed to him) have been brought together in a single volume. In mystical language reminiscent of Krishna in the Bagavad Gita, The Gospel of the Unknown Jesus brings a unique and timely message for all humanity.Hooper, Richard J. is the author of 'Gospel of the Unknown Jesus The Secret Teachings of Jesus from the Apocryphal and Gnostic Gospel', published 2006 under ISBN 9780974699554 and ISBN 0974699551.
