This is the worst conspiracy book i’ve ever read..
My cat is smarter than the author of this book

This book is well referenced (there are plenty of citations but I didn't look into them). It made some valid points but after a while the consistency of derision, lack of sympathy and steadfast sticking to one narrative made this hard to believe was completely right.

Really insightful

This book shows Jesus of Nazareth in a whole new light. It explains early gnostic wisdom taught by Jesus that has been lost over the ages. For me, this book puts more of a human face on Jesus and it makes a lot of sense. It talks about how the Catholic church has twisted Jesus's words to suit their own agenda, as most christain religions tend to do.

More Gnostic wisdom and truth!

These two make a great team. This is not the first or last time I turn to these sages for spiritual truth, explained as well as possible. The rest is up to you.

One of the most thoughtful books I've ever read. I am a fan.

This was a strange book -- like two books in one. It was a bit too sarcastic for me in the first half, though some good points were made. The second half was on the mystical side but had a little too much "big love" sprinkled in it, but I still enjoyed it. The second half is not something that would sit well with most academics--a definite audience for the first half. It's worth the time. I recommend it. An open mind is a must!

I like this Jesus a hell of a lot more than the one I grew up with!

Sort of a compendium tying everything into one from previous explorations whilst also providing the next steps.

An interesting description of how the judeo-christian religions have evolved to where they are today.

"Imagine what would happen if we actually began to wake up and live by the Gnostic teachings of oneness and love. If we started to truly love our neighbors, and even our enemies, because we recognize that they are actually expressions of our own deeper self. If we saw through to the reality that there are no Jews, Christians, or Muslims. There is no 'us versus them'. There is only us. This is the Gnostic vision that has inspired us to write this book." (page 8)

Wow! And what a book it is! Most of Freke's arguments aren't new (far from it!) but the way in which he so frankly presents his case for gnostics is invigorating.

Currently reading, it's the last in Freke & Randy's books on Gnostic Christianity BEFORE they wrote the Gospel of the Second Coming.

I find it so thought provoking my book has all these notes in the margins. It answers a lot of questions I've had about the Bible, and has helped me understand the Bible better as an allegory instead of a literal account of history. After I'm done, I'll have to re-read the Gospel to catch all the nuances and references.
