Jesus the Master Builder

Autor Dr. Gordon Strachan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iun 2010
The activities of Jesus before the start of his ministry at the age of thirty have been the subject of much speculation for two millennia. Did he travel beyond Palestine in his search for wisdom knowledge? Where did he acquire the great learning that amazed those who heard him teaching and enabled him to cross swords in debate with the Scribes and Pharisees?

Legends suggest that Jesus traveled to the British Isles with Joseph of Arimathea, who worked in the tin trade. Beginning with those legends, Strachan uncovers a fascinating network of connections between the Celtic world and Mediterranean culture and philosophy.

Taking the biblical image of Wisdom as the master craftsman, Strachan explores the deep layers of mystery knowledge shared among those of the Judaic-Hellenic world and the northern Druids from the secret geometry of masons and builders, which Jesus would have encountered in his work as an artisan in Palestine, to the "gematria, " or number coding, of the Hebrew and Christian Testaments of the Bible.

"Jesus the Master Builder" formed the basis for the documentary film "And Did Those Feet, " which screened in 2010 at the British Film Institute in London."

Recenzii

'A remarkable book. Jesus the Master Builder makes a significant contribution to research, suggesting connections between megalithic, Pythagorean and early Christian traditions. To convey the full picture of the ancient world that Strachan is able to weave together is beyond the scope of this review. Suffice to say that this book is required reading for anyone with an interest in traditional cosmology.' -- Peter Westbrook, Cosmos 'Jesus the Master Builder kept me up all night. Few books have that power.' -- Jonathan Glancey, The Guardian 'Admirable for its authenticity, clarity and intelligence.' -- Matt Ewart, The Herald 'Will be seen as a work of singular significance.' -- The Scotsman 'A fascinating exploration, drawing on a wide range of sources to make some exciting and potentially revolutionary connections. Well-written and truly eye-opening.' -- Scientific and Medical Network Review
