Reasoned analysis, no razzle-dazzle

The subject is touchy for many people, but if you are not one of them then I recommend this book. Simmans brings a lot of scholarship and research into the question of Jesus' early life, His possible marriage, His possible survival of crucifixion. That said, Simmans doesn't force the reader to wade through pages of esoteric data complete with comparisons of Egyptian, Greek and Hebrew hieroglyphs to make his points. He cites his references, but he impresses with his ability to meld the thoughts of various scholars with his own "on-the-site" insights. I found him to be the most plausible of all the writers currently being published regarding this somewhat implausible subject. Worth reading if you have an interest in this field.

one day all that is hidden will be revealed - when the time is right.

unfortunately this is the last book from Mr. Simmans to be published. he died too soon and unexpectedly. i happened to know Mr. Graham Simmans for almost 3 years. and still remember the discussions we had with Mr. Simmans being a good listener and a wonderfull person to have dfiscussions with. i rate his book with 5 stars not because i knew him - but because it is a great book. some day all secrets and what is hidden will be revealed - when the time is right.

Jesus didn't die on the cross

Jesus didn't die on the cross: instead he survived and went to southern France to live with wife Mary: this radical and thought-provoking idea proposed by researcher Graham Simmans offers up a new reason for the spread of Christianity - by Jesus himself. Chapters consider Jesus's survival of the crucifixion and use Coptic and Jewish sources to examine Christian philosophy and how it spread through Europe.

Jesus after the Crucfixion

I felt the book was well researched and well presented with regard to references and bibliography. At a time when the traditional truths are under scrutiny, this was a well reasoned and thought provoking book.

The Real Da Vinci Code

This was a bombshell of a book -- it goes way beyond The da Vinci Code (book) and since I have personally investigated the Rennes-le-Chateau issue for several years, I was amazed at the accuracy of his info and also pleased that he didn't compromise the remaining secrets that need to be protected to this day. Eventually the Truth will come out, however, and this book will help prepare people to accept (via a better understanding) what has really been going on. Related issues, truthfully handled, are Gnosticism, Cathars and the Knights Templar (who you will find are involved with that Tomb of Jesus' Family 'revealed' in March on the Discovery channel -- but you have to read the corresponding Tomb of Jesus book to see that). He even explains how the rumor got going that Jesus died in Kashmir -- but he neglects to point out that Jesus had a twin brother (see person 2nd from the left end of the table in Da Vinci's painting The Last Supper... Because he had a twin, it was necessary to pay someone to point him out -- the authorities did not want to arrest the wrong man.) A fascinating book that is a great source for anyone wanting to research this subject more deeply. The connection with Egypt and France is quite well documented, as well as where Jesus could have gotten his 'training', as well as the marriage with Mary Magdalene, and her ministry. It may make some people angry, but this is NOT a woo-woo book containing wild speculations! Enjoy.
