description: Why were the secret teachings of the original Christians brutally suppressed by the Roman church?Because they relate the myth of the Christian Goddess Sophia.Because they portray Jesus and Mary Magdalene as mythic figures based on the Pagan dying and resurrecting Godman and the fallen and redeemed Goddess.Because they show that the gospel story is a spiritual allegory encoding philosophy that leads to Gnosis – mystical enlightenment.Because they undermine all external authority by revealing the Christ within.Because they have the power to turn the world inside-out and transform life into an exploration of consciousness.Drawing on the cutting edge of modern scholarship, this groundbreaking book from the authors of the international bestseller 'The Jesus Mysteries' decodes the secret teachings of the original Christians for the first time in almost two millenia.
