Inside were thirteen leather-bound books, buried by an unknown hand around the year 370, after the bishop of Alexandria ordered them burned. Someone disobeyed. Fifty-two Christian texts crossed sixteen hundred years of darkness - the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Truth - and arrived intact in the twentieth century.
This book is an investigation of what they say, and of why they had to be buried.
The discoveryIn the canonical gospels, Jesus proclaims a Kingdom that is yet to come. In Thomas he says: The Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men see it not. This is not a different Jesus. It is the same Master speaking from further down - and it is that layer the institutional history chose not to carry forward.
You will find that these texts were not silenced for being false. They were silenced for making intermediaries unnecessary.
What you will find- How the Bible was actually assembled - who wrote the gospels, when, from what sources, and the exact criteria that decided what went in and what was burned. No conspiracy theory and no naivety.
- The gospels that were left out - Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Philip, Truth: what each one claims, and where they flatly contradict the canon.
- The historical Jesus and the Christ of faith - what contemporary scholarship actually holds, and what it admits it cannot know.
- Jesus and the traditions of the East - the parallels with Buddhism, Vedanta and Taoism, handled with rigour rather than enthusiasm, including a straight account of why the lost years in India literature does not stand up.
- A contemplative exercise at the end of every chapter - because a book about inner transformation that asks nothing of you transforms nothing.
- The 114 Sayings of the Gospel of Thomas, complete, in the author's own rendering - the whole text, not a selection.
- The Two Readings - eighteen fundamental questions answered side by side by orthodoxy and by gnosis. Who is Jesus? What saves? Where is the Kingdom? Is the body good?
- A chronology of two thousand years - from the birth of Jesus to the jar at Nag Hammadi.
- A glossary of both traditions - archon, demiurge, pleroma, gnosis, pistis, metanoia, Sophia.
Who wrote the gospels? - The making of the canon: who decided what counted as Scripture - The historical Jesus and the Jesus of faith - The Gospel of Thomas: the secret words of Jesus - Mary Magdalene: the apostle to the apostles - Philip, Truth and the gnostic cosmogony - The Kingdom of God within you - Jesus and the wisdom traditions of East and West - The living legacy: rediscovering Jesus for the twenty-first century
Who this book is forFor anyone who grew up hearing the answers before being allowed the questions. For anyone who never managed to choose between the faith they inherited and the intelligence they have. For anyone who reads history honestly and mysticism seriously, and refuses to pretend that one cancels the other.
This book does not ask you to abandon anything you believe. It asks you to read with your eyes open.
May the archons of forgetting have no power over those who read.
