Sometimes, we learn the most important lessons from reanalyzing something we think we already know. There seems to be so much we take for granted, and, throughout history, we humans have shown an overwhelming tendency to believe what we are told. Everyone knows about Jesus, right? It would be safe to assume that Christians in particular surely do, and given the prevalence of this religion in modern times, it seems that even those outside Christianity are familiar with at least some understanding of the man behind the faith. However, despite the widespread nature of the stories we all know so well, they are actually not based on fact, and beneath our mainstream acceptance are countless alarming stories that must be told once and for all. Barbeblo does not bring new meaning to our understanding of Christianity, but a new understanding of Christianity itself. Intriguing, intelligent, and insightful, this text examines how those in biblical times actually perceived the one who came to be known as Jesus Christ, and the way he really acted while on Earth. Sure to appeal to religious scholars, both seasoned and novice alike, this maverick text is well researched, well presented, and well worth the read.

This introduction to Gnosis by Christoph Markschies combines great clarity with immense learning.In his Introduction Markschies defines the term Gnosis and its relationship to 'Gnosticism', indicating why Gnosis is preferable and sketches out the main problems. He then treats the sources, both those in the church fathers and heresiologists, and the more recent Nag Hammadi finds. He goes on to discuss early forms of 'Gnosis' in antiquity, Jewish and Christian (New Testament) and the early Gnostics; the main representatives of Gnosis, especially Valentinus and Marcion; Manichaeism as the culmination and end-point of Gnosis; ancient communities of 'Gnostics'; and finally 'Gnosis' in antiquity and the present.There is a useful chronological table and an excellent select bibliography.

Trinity remains ignorant of her creative potential as an artist. Her son Zeus loses himself in the attainment of corporate wealth and power. Feeling alone and confused, her grandson Enoch wanders displaced thirty years after the turn of this century, and only Trinity's secret wisdom can uncover Enoch's path towards enlightenment and subsequently restore a family torn apart by violence and fear. The Sea of Milk is a novel about a woman's fateful fall and her fulfilling rise. This is a story about the woman's son who attempts to conquer and control his environment in order to rid personal shame and suffering. This is a story about the woman's grandson who redeems his father and thus glorifies her. It is, most of all, a myth about living and dying and returning home.
