/24-7PressRelease.com/ - April 1, 2005 - Is there any biblical evidence to support the recent influx of 'Jesus, Mary, and child' stories? Do books like The Da Vinci Code only scratch the surface of an ancient 'truth' that was suppressed even by the time of St. Paul?
J. S. Tyson, MA, Fellow of the University of British Columbia, has conducted over seven years of postgraduate study into the Gospel According to John. This has culminated in one of the most intriguing perceptions of the historical Jesus for decades.
All new research!
A paradigm shift that is intended to open the doors to alternative but historically feasible renditions of the Jesus Movement.
The gospel text we attribute to John tells the story of Jesus, the royal pretender, the self-appointed high priest of an idealized, united Israel. Its subversive messages to a distinct audience were denounced by Paul, and its promoters deemed heretic and dangerous.
What was so heretical? The promulgators of the outlawed gospel were claiming that "the resurrection ha[d] already taken place" - but whose, when, and how?
Discover how the ancient practices of assigning commission names, of incorporating numerology, and of exploiting biblical precedents were used to construct a complex document that could guide the enlightened Remnant back to God...and to the new priestly kingdom at Shiloh.
What People Are Saying About It
"...a daring analysis of the Gospel of John...that has consequences on how Jesus is viewed, for what purpose the Gospel may have been written, and what role women play in the unfolding of the Johannine narrative. I...highly recommend that the thesis be published in some form." Dietmar Neufeld, Assistant Professor, Department of Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies, UBC, Letter of Recommendation.
"Very well written...accessible, intelligent, and convincingly argued - it may indeed be explosive...." L. Vermeer, University of Alberta Press
"A bold and provocative thesis in the face of nearly 2000 years of tradition... impressed by the thoroughness of research." P. Alexander, Hendricksons
