The Laughing Jesus: Religious Lies and Gnostic Wisdom
“A daring and thought-provoking book: Nothing you thought about the great monotheistic religions will ever look quite the same again.” —Graham Hancock, author ofFingerprints of the Gods“The Laughing Jesusis a manifesto for Gnostic mysticism. Freke and Gandy’s exposition of Gnostic enlightenment is lucid and accessible; their critique of Literalist religion is damningly severe.” —Robert M. Price, professor of scriptural studies, Johnnie Colemon Theological Seminary, and editor ofThe Journal of Higher Criticism“The Laughing Jesusshould be considered not merely a good read, although it is, but also a matter of burning urgency, for this is one of the most important books that has emerged in this infant millennium.” —Larry Dossey, M.D., author ofThe Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things
