Reportedly dictated by Jesus to his brother, Judas Thomas the Twin, founder of the churches of the East, this text reveals a Jesus who merges with the masters of all the great wisdom teachings of the world.

Arius: Heresy and Tradition:
Arianism has been called the "archetypal Christian heresy" because it denies the divinity of Christ. The crisis of the early fourth century was not only about the doctrine of God but also about the relations between emperors, bishops, and "charismatic" teachers in the church's decision-making. This book provides fascinating reading for anyone interested in church history and the development of Christian doctrine.

It is his description of Jesus' role as a rabbi, or "master," of Jewish oral traditions, a teacher of the Kabbalah, and a practitioner of a Galilean form of Judaism that emphasized direct communication with God, however, that casts an entirely new light on the origins of Christianity. By placing Jesus within the context of his times, Chilton uncovers truths lost to history and reveals a new Jesus for the new millennium.
Jesus is best understood not as any old first-century peasant, nor as a political insurrectionist determined to overthrow the Roman empire, but as a rabbi. As a Jew, to put it plainly, Judaism is a necessary lens for any examination of Jesus. Paperback, 352pp
