Download or read book Truth and Fiction in The Da Vinci Code written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his staggeringly popular work of fiction, Dan Brown states up front that the historical information in the The Da Vinci Code is all factually accurate. But is this claim true? As historian Bart D. Ehrman shows in this informative and witty book, The Da Vinci Code is filled with numerous historical mistakes. Did the ancient church engage in a cover-up to make the man Jesus into a divine figure? Did Emperor Constantine select for the New Testament--from some 80 contending Gospels--the only four Gospels that stressed that Jesus was divine? Was Jesus Christ married to Mary Magdalene? Did the Church suppress Gospels that told the secret of their marriage? Bart Ehrman thoroughly debunks all of these claims. But the book is not merely a laundry list of Brown's misreading of history. Throughout, Ehrman offers a wealth of fascinating background information--all historically accurate--on early Christianity. He describes, for instance, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls ; outlines in simple terms how scholars of early Christianity determine which sources are most reliable; and explores the many other Gospels that have been found in the last half century. In his engaging book, Ehrman separates fact from fiction, the historical realities from the flights of literary fancy. Anyone who would like to know the truth about the beginnings of Christianity and the real truth behind The Da Vinci Code will find this book riveting.
Download or read book Bible Code Bombshell written by R. Edwin Sherman and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2005 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosive evidence that Bible codes point to the life of Christ! When Ed Sherman, a mathematician with 30 years of experience, and Nathan Jacobi, an Israeli physicist, set out to debunk claims that there were mysterious codes in the Hebrew Old Testament, they could not have envisioned the startling conclusions they would reach. As Dr. Jacobi, an agnostic Jew, looked for lengthy Hebrew codes about Christ, repeatedly he discovered compelling excerpts from the life of the man from Nazareth. Time and again Dr. Jacobi found that one-or two-word codes were actually part of much longer encoded sentences that echoed the Gospel accounts. Moreover, these encoded sentences were extensively embedded in two passages most widely regarded as prophecies of the crucifixion of Christ (Isaiah 53 and Psalms 22). Bible Code Bombshellsets forth startling new evidence that code sequences in Scripture are irrefutable evidence of a Divine hand. In this highly readable book, Sherman offers both skeptics and believers a gold mine of information that will prompt much thinking about the origins of the Bible. Unlike other Bible code books, this unique book features codes that are phrases and sentences, and not just one-or two-word codes.The only code book by researchers that are internationally recognized mathematicians and statistical expertsResponds directly and accurately to Bible code critics
Download or read book The Jesus Code written by John Randolph Price and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a very vivid dream during the night of January 1, 1998, John Randolph Price was emphatically denied access to the secret gate leading to Cosmic Consciousness. Both curious and concerned, he pondered what to do next. Then he was suddenly given the specific instruction: see Jesus for the Code. John began the task immediately upon awakening, first with quiet prayer to become attuned to the 'mind which was in Christ Jesus', followed by several days of meditative inner plane work. There was little progress until he took a break from the project and went for a long walk in the woods. And it was there that he heard the central message of the Code - a challenge for all of us to embrace a new Model of Reality, and change our perspective on what it means to be 'spiritual' in this world.

Download or read book Women and the Genesis of Christianity written by Ben Witherington (III) and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-06-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents in as clear a way as possible the New Testament material dealing with women and their roles in the context of the movement Jesus began. Dr Witherington begins by illustrating the roles of women in Judaism, in the Hellenistic world, and in the Roman Empire. She goes on to show how Jesus broke significantly with convention in the way he viewed women and their roles, offering as he did a wholly new conception of the legitimate rights of women in society. An analysis follows of the apostle Paul's attitude toward women, which shows how he agreed with and differed from the ideas of his contemporaries. The concluding chapters discuss the evangelists, whose selection and presentation of material with respect to women casts much light on the early Church's understanding of women and their roles. This comprehensive survey, which avoids slanting its material to serve a modern patriarchal or feminist bias, comes to the exciting conclusion that we can see in the New Testament an attempt to reform the patriarchal orientation of the day.
Download or read book The Cephas Code of Christ written by LLB. Joseph Hannington and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible written by over forty authors took over four thousand years to complete. Then in 1227 and 1551, Stephen Langton and Robertus Stephanus, two revered and distinguished gentlemen who lived over three hundred years apart, inserted into the script of the Bible the chapters and verses that we know and use today. Wherefrom and how they got the numbers remains a mystery. It has always been assumed that these numbers are random and purely for the convenience of Bible readers -- that is, until now. The Bible chapter and verse numbers are not only inspired, they are Jesus Christ's own creation that have gradually, stealthily, systematically, and for over seven centuries been carefully crafted into the Bible to form part of the Seven Seals of the Book of God seen by Saint John in Revelation 5:1. This Numeric Scripture sealed inside the Bible is the conclusive and written proof of God's existence written by God Himself. The Cephas Code of Christ reveals the Cephas Code 16∓3, also known as the Sign of Jonah, that was promised by Jesus to the Pharisees and ultimately unveils the redeeming six-word message from God to mankind divinely wrapped within the twenty-five-word Golden Verse of JOHN 3:16. This book just about wraps up the Bible.
Download or read book The Gospel Hoax written by Stephen C. Carlson and published by Baylor University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secret Mark first became known to modern scholarship in 1958 when a newly hired assistant professor at Columbia University in New York by the name of Morton Smith visited the monastery of Mar Saba near Jerusalem and photographed its fragments. Secret Mark was announced on the heels of many spectacular discoveries of ancient manuscripts in the Near East, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi gnostic corpus in the late 1940s, and promised to be just as revolutionary. Secret Mark presents what appears to be a valuable, albeit fragmentary, witness to early Christian traditions, traditions that might shed light on Jesus's most intimate behavior. In this book, Stephen C. Carlson uses state of the art science to demonstrate that Secret Mark was an elaborate hoax created by Morton Smith. Carlson's discussion places Smith's trick alongside many other hoaxes before probing the reasons why so many scholars have been taken in by it.
