| 1 | The Gnostic Jesus: Esoteric Christianity | David Christopher Lane |
| This book covers four distinct areas concerning the life and teachings of Jesus Christ: 1. An interview with the late Charan Singh, spiritual head of Radhasoami Satsang Beas, conducted by a group of fundamentalist Christians. Charan provides a detailed explanation for why he believes Jesus was a mystic-yogi. 2. An excerpt from Dr. Andrea Diem's pioneering work on early Gnosticism and its connection to Indian mysticism. 3. A complete translation of the Gospel of Thomas by Mark M. Mattison. 4. A radical new interpretation of Christianity based on a deep and horizontal reading of the four Gospels in the New Testament, focusing on the humanity of Mary Magdalene and her unconditional love. This book taken as a whole provides a new way of looking at Jesus and early Christianity. |
