Did you know that many of the Gospels of Jesus were destroyed and missing for centuries? These were Gospels from the early followers of Jesus that the Church never wanted you to read. These scriptures were forbidden by the Roman church in the 4th century, but a few of these texts were buried and hidden in the desert until 1945 when a farmer discovered them while plowing his field. In this truly fascinating book Thomas Emerson explores the reason why the Church never wanted you to hear these Gospels; how all the Gospels came about, and many of the events about Jesus described in the Bible in light of these new achaeological discoveries--including Jesus' birth, his teachings, the miracles, and the crucifixion and resurrection. This remarkable book cuts-through the centuries of conspiracy and misunderstanding that has obsured some of these original teachings of Jesus, and reveals how Jesus taught that "the kingdom of God is within us," and that all faiths can "enter the kingdom of heaven."
