Product Description

An inspirational encounter with the world of Christ, an uplifting study of the man, his times and his teaching. It reveals how the true meaning of Jesus's teachings, as found in the canonical gospels and many of the ancient apocryphal and other early Christian texts, is that of the ageless, eternal and mystic path to God. Exhaustively researched, it reflects the yearning of all Christians and seekers throughout the centuries to penetrate the unresolved faith and attain direct, personal mystic experience of God.

A must for any open-minded person interested in spirituality
If you are prepared to consider a new way of looking at Christianity, and religion generally, this can be life-transforming book. It certainly transformed mine! For me, it was as if all the confusing jigsaw pieces of Christianity which I just didn't understand suddenly fell into place. So, if you can accept "orthodox" Christianity, you probably won't like this book, but if you have always felt that certain things just couldn't be right (eg eternal damnation, misogyny, literalism), then this is the book for you - thoroughly researched, well-argued and convincing.

A labour of love
This book is superb.It helped deepen my faith in Christ and in Christianity.

It brings together a lot of dispersed or lost information and allows us to see just how many different meanings have been and still can be attached to Jesus' life and resurrection. If you seek one orthodox reading of religion you'll be upset. If your faith gives you confidence to consider many different possibilities then you'll enjoy this book.

Jesus True Teachings Revealed by a Mystic
John Davidson has written a masterpiece on the esoteric meanings and mystical teachings of Jesus in the Gospels of the New Testament. Only a fellow soul on the spiritual path could reveal and convey the real meaning of the gospel of Jesus as it was truly intended. Mr. Davidson illuminates not only the New Testament, but other important spiritual and mystical writings and mystic teachers throughout the ages (mandatory reading for everyone, not just Christians, scholars/historians of the Bible, and mystics).
When the inner esoteric meaning of the Gospel of Jesus is revealed to the reader by Mr.Davidson (a mystic), profound revelation will be the result. Most books on the Gospels/Jesus are written by scholars with little spiritual awakening and acumen, and hence scholarly and sectarian dogma results with little understanding of true spirituality.
The only two caveats of Mr. Davidson (when reading this book) are, that he is an avid vegetarian and proponent of gurus/teachers to help guide us (no doubt from eastern teachers influence on him). Further study of true mysticism without sectarianism/dogma for people on the spiritual path is the Rosicrucian organisation AMORC, which is whole heartedly recommended.
