The Secret Gospel gives the first real evidence of the method
by which Jesus of Nazareth initiated his disciples into the esoteric practices
of his teaching.
In 1958, Morton Smith traveled to Jerusalem to do research in the monastery
library of Mar Saba, in the Judean Desert. What he found was no routine
corroboration of New Testament history, but a precious fragment of a second-century
document that would change our understanding of the work and teaching
of Jesus of Nazareth.
As exciting as the most suspenseful adventure story, Professor Smith’s
book is a lively and readable account of the discovery and unraveling
of some of Christianity’s most intriguing mysteries. |
