Letters from the Inquisition is a daring work that exposes the torture of innocent victims, barbaric executions, graphic nudity, and Church sanctioned sadism believed to exist during one of history's darkest eras. After reading this piece of fiction, I was intrigued to research the facts. It was written from a different perspective that inspires the reader as a witness to the torture of the souls.

Recommended to read book. The first chapter was captivating... it was downhill after that. Plot "transcended" into too many directions ... First 1/2 especially confusing. 2nd half better ... Large excerpts of the story irrelevant to the entire plot.
Also ... badly needs to be edited for grammar, punctuation, and overall flow.

The Restored New Testament, Part 2: The Hellenic Fragments, Freed from the Pseudo-Jewish Interpolations, Harmonized and Done into English Verse and Prose Review

The Restored New Testament, Part 2: The Hellenic Fragments, Freed from the Pseudo-Jewish Interpolations, Harmonized and Done into English Verse and Prose
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Restored New Testament is composed of several sections. The first is titled "The Anointing of Iesous," which is a combination of the synoptic gospels into linear order, excluding all mention of Jewish religion, with commentary. Next is the "Crowning of Jesus," a metrical re-telling of the gospels, again only retaining the portions that Pryse sees as obviously Hellenic. (Pryse states that he feels the Mystery document "stolen" by the Jewish priests was a poem; therefore, he feels that the gospels themselves should be poems.) Pryse follows this with a summation and study of parts of the fourth gospel.
Next Pryse goes over the letters of Paul that he finds to be genuine (again, Pryse's estimation of which Paul letters were and weren't genuine are amazingly in keeping with today's scholarship), and once again covers the Apocalypse, though in this book he re-writes it in metrical form. He ignores Acts, as he finds it to be complete fabrication. The book concludes with literal translations of the Synoptic gospels, including the Jewish "additions," with commentary explaining why Pryse finds the Jewish religion parts to be interpolations to the original, Hellenic text.
This part is great, as Pryse's detestation of fundamentalist Christianity is full of acidic wit. This was my favorite part of the book, and I think the first-time reader should start off with this section, before diving into Pryse's re-writing of the Jesus story, the "Anointing of Iesous." I feel that it gives a better reasoning behind Pryse's theory; you understand more fully why he chose to edit out the Jewish parts of the gospels in his rewrite. Also, it points out obvious mistakes and forgeries in the gospels (most of which I'd never even realized) that, if read by an intelligent person, should put the final nail in the coffin of one's fundamentalism.
Again, though Pryse takes many liberties with the texts and makes many assumptions, his findings will prove to be on the mark for fans of Freke/Gandy/Doherty, and all who ponder the existence of a historical Jesus. I found Apocalypse Unsealed to be the more Earth-shaking book (Christendom owes Pryse many thanks for the writing of that book, as it gave freedom from the doom and gloom, mistaken idea that Revelations offers a future history of the world's end), but the Restored New Testament will provide insightful reading for those interested in the subjects it covers. Though James Morgan Pryse seems to have been forgotten by the modern reading public, his books are still relevant, possibly more relevant than ever. Let's hope a legitimate publisher brings this book back on the market; all we have now is this Kessingner edition, which is cheaply photocopied from an early printing, and, even worse, is split into two volumes.

Volume two of a two volume set. (This description is for all volumes.) With introductory analyses, and commentaries, giving an interpretation according to ancient philosophy and psychology and a new literal translation of the synoptic gospels, with commentaries and illustrations."In the work here presented the portions of the New Testament which the author holds to be genuine are construed in verse, and are interpreted along the lines of ancient philosophy and psychology.The work is, therefore, not concerned with theological views or any of the creeds, dogmas and doctrines of the many Christian sects.For the author, while cherishing the greatest respect for all that is pure and noble in the Christian religion and all other religions, is not, and never has been a Christian.In interpreting the New Testament from a non-sectarian, and therefore possibly non-Christian, point of view, he has tried to avoid offending needlessly those who cling to one or another form of Christian faith; but this interpretation differs radically from that offered by the so-called orthodox commentators, and in the attempt to restore the admittedly corrupt text of the New Testament, more especially that of the Gospels, the author has found it necessary to undermine the foundation upon which the structure of dogmatic theology has been reared."Contents:The Genuine Portions of the New Testament, Analyses and Commentaries; Anointing of Iesous; Crowning of Jesus; Selections from the Fourth Gospel with Commentary; Initiation of Ioannes; Initiation; Letters of Paulos; Synoptic Gospels, Translated into Modern English, with Comments; Gospels according to, Mark, Matthew and Luke.

Dating The Old Testament Review

Dating The Old Testament
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I found this book on the one hand was eminently readable, yet examined in detail the various arguments for dating the Old Testament. Many scholars only examine external evidence with rather circumstantial links to the Old Testament literature. Davis considers not only these, but reviews in depth the internal evidence from the Old Testament itself, as well as archaeological evidence from Israel. I imagine it would appeal to anyone from an interested observer of Biblical times to a student in a theological seminary who may otherwise only study the external evidence.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Dating The Old Testament

Dating the Old Testament addresses the subject of when the books of the Bible were written. It explains why the books of Genesis through Deuteronomy are a literary unity, and how the Egyptian background for these books support a date of writing during the exodus generation. It provides a detailed critique of the Documentary Hypothesis, the theory that Genesis through Joshua were created from four different sources usually labelled J, E, D, and P. It provides extensive evidence that all of Isaiah was written by Isaiah himself, and shows why Isaiah may have had a role in the collection and publication of other Old Testament books. It describes why the book of Daniel should be considered a product of the early Persian era and not the much later Maccabean period. The book contains a discussion of how the Hebrew language changed during the Old Testament era, and how this can be used to help date the books of the Old Testament.

Can You Pray: We are All Here to Seek the Way
Average Reviews:

This book is a miracle. Saints and The Teachers of the Higher Planes downloaded through Ruth Lee, as their Scribe chapter after chapter of profound information as she spoke the words aloud and typed at over 100 words a minute. This phenomenon was witnessed by 8 individuals, who sat in a meditative state as these sessions were recorded. Over 20 chapters of profound wisdom were delivered to help the people of Earth find a better way to live. I found this book able to answer questions that I have always wondered about and some that really opened my mind to the fact that we do create our own realities. Truly a master work of art.

Ruth Lee has channeled a wealth of information for the transformation of those on the planet at this time. Can You Pray? is the spiritual alchemist's bible, offering formulas for self-revelation and personal transmutation. The Teachers who speak through Ms. Lee are sometimes witty, other times stern in their advice to the Group, but the wisdom they bring is an undeniable resource in the scope of our changing times.Carole J. Obley, author and teacher of Spiritual Development seminars, and a Certified Medium and graduate of Delphi University.~~~~~Inspirational!In this book, many soul-searching questions are brought to the surface, such as, Why am I here? Where will I go when I die? Teachers from other dimensions come to Earth to deliver wisdom and enlightenment to the human race. Freddie Cecchini, The Business Minister, Creating Soul In Your Business, Making Life Easier, Certified by Deepak Chopra in Primordial Sound Meditation.~~~~~Published in the Spring of 2002, this is the printed version of a series of channeled sessions that occurred in 1997. Pittsburgh native Ruth Lee, sat with a physical group of individuals as she conversed with a Spirit group of teachers, some who have lived on Earth before, some from far-flung planets and some who refused to give up any personal information lest more attention be given to the messenger than the message. This ethereal group provided a blueprint for exploration into the deeper questions of life, and at the same time asking, 'What if we had the ability to create our own reality?'Ruth spoke and typed at the same time. When finished, the physical group were given the computer files and were asked to collectively produce the book, a task in which they were put to the test of implementing the knowledge of Truth presented in the book to create the book...an interesting way to prove the validity of it's teachings and of their integration into the consciousness of those who witnessed their acquisition.This is a book rich in eternal t

The Jezebel Letters: Religion and Politics in Ninth-Century Israel
3 stars Kindle version - poor footnoting
The technical: This is a review of the Kindle version. The linkage to footnotes/endnotes is non-existent. This is regrettable since they would help a reader to understand the storyline. This technical glitch would result in a 2 star rating if that was my only complaint. However -
I really wanted to like this book. I knew that I would not agree with the author's premises - i.e., the story of Jezebel in the Bible is pretty much a fabrication made up by the post-Babylonian exile Judeans equivalent to today's American Liberal Press - the scribes of Judah made it up to serve their own selfish needs. The story is fictional, sort of an alternate world historical novel. Not faith threatening even to a literate biblical fundamentalist.
Unfortunately the book is dull. The author has not been able to make the transition from academic journalese to simple entertainment. Jezebel does NOT come across as a real person - that is someone who is sometimes good/ sometimes bad/ sometimes mediocre. real people are full of passion, emotion, pain, joy, sorrows, etc -. but not the Jezebel of this book. She sounds like a detached historian. The most stunning example of this starts at location 1067 (remember this is a Kindle review) where Jezebel speaks of her son Ahaziah's murder. She is speaking in the third person to the reader and not an ounce of sorrow, anger, or mourning is expressed!!
It reads roughly like this: >>My "Kingfisher" Ahaziah was killed because he blah, blah, blah, and hum. Hum, hum, I (Jezebel) covered it up by Doo Doo Doo - ho hum and now my little Kestrel Joram will . . .

This is a curious and original book. Somewhere between a channeled work (with the somehow typical warped language of an alien entity), and a philosophical treatise, Manifest.Ø spins a compelling web. I found it hard to read-no, not exactly-hard to stay with, but underneath is a current that swept me up and opened up new ways of thinking about the world around me. And about all that surrounds the world around me. I recommend it.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These volumes, written by a distinguished American Egyptologist, were first published in 1906 and 1907. In his introduction to this re-edition, Egyptologist Peter Piccione provides a short biography of the author as well as a historical account of the 5 tomes. Volume 1 discusses the First through the Seventeenth Dynasties; Volume 2, the Eighteenth Dynasty; Volume 3, the Nineteenth Dynasty; and Volume 4, the Twentieth through Twenty-Sixth Dynasties. Volume 5 contains supplementary bibliographies and indices for the previous volumes; Piccione has added a more recent bibliography that proves to be quite useful. Each book offers a description of texts along with comments on historicity and significance, before continuing onto easy-to-understand translations. Many of the texts included are never-before-seen passages, while others are quite popular: the Palermo Stone, Letter of Pepi II, Tale of Sinuhe, Tomb of Rekhmire, Capture of Kadesh, Papyrus Harris, Adoption Stela of Nitocris, and so on. This is the most complete, easy-to-consult translation of Egyptian historical texts ever available in the field of Egyptology. A highly recommended resource for students and scholars.

The Pharaoh and the Priest, Volume 1: An Historical Novel of Ancient Egypt Review

The Pharaoh and the Priest, Volume 1: An Historical Novel of Ancient Egypt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a reprint of Jeremiah Curtin's 1902 translation of Boleslaw Prus's 1895 Polish-language historical novel "Pharaoh." The book was retitled in the 1902 English translation to "The Pharaoh and the Priest" apparently due to the author's wish to highlight the important role, in his novel, of "the priest" Pentuer, named after a historic figure who appears in some Egyptological sources as "Pentaur."
"Pharaoh" was Prus's sole historical novel, and it is one that amply repays reading for what it has to say about statecraft, Egyptian history and culture, and the human condition. Its continuing interest is attested by translations into 20 languages and by a 1966 Polish film adaptation. The most recent English translation appeared in 2001, a century after the Curtin translation.
The Curtin-translation reprint, reviewed here, does not adequately represent the novel. It is, to begin with, missing the stunning Epilog, which was restored half a century after the original publication of Curtin's translation. More importantly, Curtin showed an abysmal understanding of the Polish language, a poor grasp of English style, and a primitive knowledge of the book's subject matter.
Consequently it is difficult to recommend this English translation of Prus's "Pharaoh." The reader would be well advised, instead, to seek out a more recent translation.
