Over the years I have read a number of books dealing with the original story of Jesus. Some made more nonsense then sense, some were very difficult to get through but all were very interesting.
The Jesus Mysteries is simply wonderful. Not only do Freke and Gandy, beyond any doubt, finally display that the whole story of that carpenter we all know is completely based on older stories, they also succeed in clearly proving the connection between all major religions of the Mediterranean that were practiced some 2000 years ago. Christianity, as we know it today, is NOT the original belief as taught in the stories of Jesus but a misinterpretation after the fact.
It is impossible to relate in only a few words what the significance of this book is. Go and read it. Now.
