From the gnostic gospels to the Nativity, religious mythology
immortalized Jesus -- his personality, his actions, his words --
but what if they didn't tell the truth?
Although an entire religion is based on his teachings, Jesus
himself did not record any written accounts of his life or faith.
He taught his followers orally, and our only sources about what
Jesus actually said and believed, the Gospels, were written long
after his lifetime. But the Gospel authors had their own agendas to
promote and most certainly altered -- even distorted -- their
leader's message.
In "The Masks of Christ," bestselling authors Lynn Picknett and
Clive Prince peel away layers of mythology, canonical revisions,
Church propaganda, and censorship in order to reveal who Christ
really was -- and discover his true message to the followers of
Christianity. Stripping away centuries of misinformation, Picknett
and Prince dispel religious myths, unearth historical truths, and
uncover the real stories behind some of the Bible's most famous
tales -- including how Christ's long-hidden relationships with John
the Baptist and Mary Magdalene shaped his beliefs and religious
mission.
Drawing on objective research, Picknett and Prince present the
living, breathing Jesus and provide a context for Jesus' teachings
in the time and society in which he lived -- and, most important,
guidance on what the life and lessons of Jesus Christ mean to
everyone today.
