"Jesus' remarkable and rather puzzling statements from the Gospel of Thomas, considered ""secret sayings,"" have suffered centuries of misinterpretation, reinforcing a skewed view of both Christianity and Jesus himself. In ""Christian Zen,"" noted scholar Robert Powell deciphers their true meaning and shows how they mirror Zen philosophy.

In the process it created a pagan counterfeit Christianized Messiah. His research also reveals the incredible events which actually occured in the Garden of Eden: the forbidden fruit was a narcotic and aphrodisiac;
"In How Jesus Became Christian, Barrie Wilson asks ""How did a young rabbi become the god of a religion he wouldnÂ’t recognize, one which was established through the use of calculated anti-Semitism?""
