博客來Reach beyond Orthodoxy and explore the mystical and scientific legacy of Jesus in Dr. Chip Goldsmith’s scholarly new release, Jesianity.
Itinerant Jewish rabbi, religious genius, charismatic advocate for social justice and the marginalized, political zealot, apocalyptic mystic, resurrected Son of God...the historical Jesus has become a composite of many figures. His private messages spoken to his disciples were cloaked in metaphor and allegory, and they spoke of a different Kingdom of God from his public apocalyptic vision. The apocryphal texts containing these secret teachings of Jesus were banned as heresy by the Orthodox but have recently been reborn through modern archeological finds. Their discovery comes as science debates a novel paradigm shift for understanding consciousness, a cosmic consciousness which may be fundamental and universal.
Jesianity presents a unique fusion of scientific inquiry and spiritual exploration through the lens of Jesus’ secret teachings in the overlooked gospels of Thomas and Mary. Ironically, within the theological and scientific domains considered heretical to the orthodox, Goldsmith explores his primary thesis: an ancient apocalyptic mystic discovered his spiritual connection to universal consciousness through a shared divinity, which he called the Kingdom of God.
This is a fascinating journey through the amorphous early Jesus movements into the New Age paradigms of the mind. Through convergence of faith and reason, Jesianity offers a unique perspective on spiritual connectivity and cosmic consciousness, offering hope for immortality and a God ＂that＂ could be real.
