<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An eye-opener for anyone who considers him or herself a Christian. It shows how the early Church sprang from the sect Jesus was raised in, the Essenes, who had prepared for generations for His coming. One has to feel a pang of conscience to read how this ancient, unique Essene community was morally and spiritually so far ahead of us. The author's findings are carefully buttressed by solid research from the Dead Sea Scrolls, classical authors like Pliny and Philo, early Church writers, and the Bible -- Isaiah and James, brother of Jesus, have an Essene perspective. As the "Jews of conscience" of their times, the Essenes condemned the inhumane parts of the Old Testament. They followed the true precepts passed down by a chain of "Teachers of Righteousness," culminating in the mission of Jesus.The great practical value this book offers today is a touchstone to rediscover real Christianity, and help distinguish the truth or essence of every faith.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Who, in fact, were the ancient Essenes? What secret doctrines did they uphold? Why did they keep their practices hidden? How do these writings relate to Jesus and His teachings? This vital book explores the pre-Christian origins of New Testament writings and the little-known mysteries of the ancient Hebrew sect called the Essenes. It explains their 'Seven Devout Practices'. New evidence is presented concerning the conviction and crucifixion of Jesus, revealing the falseness of traditional accusations against the Jews. The author shows you why and how 'The Sect of the Scrolls', the Nazarenes, the Ebionites, and the Palestine Christians were one and the same people.
