review: Editorial Reviews From the Author It was a bit of a surprising journey of discovery for me to see just how closely Dionysus relates to Baal of the Bible, and how this alternative god character inspires the Christian Gospel stories. Stir in Ulysses returning home and the obvious Gospel parallels, and a dash of HeYLeL and why Jerome translated that tradition into the Roman Lucifer. Then throw on a dash of Enoch transformed into Metatron. Fun for all Gnostic thinkers. About the Author Thomas Ragland, known in various internet discussion groups as Gnostic Tom, is a native of Tennessee with a Southern Baptist background. "Gnostic" is from the Greek word "gnosis", which for Thomas means to know through direct experience. Direct spiritual experiences have been more important to Thomas than faith or beliefs. From an early age, a sense of resonance with Jesus was felt. From this foundation of Bible study, Thomas ventured into exploring the various spiritual traditions in a comparative study. His first published book is "The Noble Eightfold Path of Christ: Jesus Teaches the Dharma of Buddhism", which explores the similarities between the teachings of Jesus and Siddhartha Gotama.
