Customer Reviews

A must read for Christians and non Christians alike!

This book is a must read for anyone interested in suppressed ancient scriptures. The way the book is formatted is fantastic, making it both easy to read cover-to-cover and easy to use as a reference. Just a warning, it is wise to be open minded when reading the translations of some of these ancient texts. Especially the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Some of the material may be a bit shocking at first. But please continue on, as much wisdom and direction can be gleened from these pages.

Solid, full of facts, yet fun to read

Readers who want to know about many Jewish and Christian writings left out of the Bible--what they say, who probably wrote them and why they were probably excluded--will find the answers in Secrets from the Lost Bible. Kenneth Hanson even provides useful time lines summarizing such details as the language in which each text was originally written, what language it exists in today, the probable time of its composition, and more. He also opens up these often strange and cryptic texts, pulling forward for the reader a message that the author of each likely intended to convey. If you are at all curious about what was banned from the Bible and why, you'll be something of an expert once you read Kenneth Hanson's book. (Speaking of "banned from the Bible," Dr. Hanson was one of the experts interviewed for that History Channel documentary.)

Not what i thought but good

The authors interpretation of the Hidden Scriptures. More insight on how to live life. Just like the bible but what was really meant.
