The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ - The Account of his "Lost" Years (Based on the Tibetan Manuscript)

Nicolas Notovitch

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ," Nicolas Notovitch presents a provocative exploration of the untold years of Jesus' life, focusing on his supposed travels and teachings in the East. Written in a narrative style that blends historical account with a compelling narrative, Notovitch draws upon what he claims to be ancient manuscripts found in Tibetan monasteries. The book situates itself within the context of 19th-century European fascination with Eastern spirituality and the historical Jesus, challenging the conventional Biblical narrative. Notovitch's work aims to bridge the spiritual insights of Eastern traditions with the figure of Jesus, thereby reshaping the understanding of his life and message. Nicolas Notovitch, a Russian journalist and explorer, undertook his controversial investigation of Jesus' life motivated by a desire to reconcile Eastern and Western spiritual teachings. His travels through India and Tibet not only influenced his writings but also reflected the broader intellectual currents of the time, where the secrets of ancient religions were of great interest to scholars and spiritual seekers alike. Notovitch's claims, although disputed, sparked significant debate and further inquiry into the historical context of Jesus' life. This book is recommended for readers intrigued by the intersections of religion, history, and culture. It provides a unique perspective that invites readers to question the established narratives surrounding Jesus Christ. Scholars of religious studies, history, or those merely seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality will find Notovitch's hypotheses both enlightening and provocative.

Disarming Leviathan - Loving...

Caleb E. Campbell

Christianity Today Book Awards — Award of Merit for Politics and Public Life
ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
A Mission-Field to Reach, Not an Enemy to Attack
Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swaths of the United States. And he's suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and his church.
Campbell argues that while it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, Christian nationalism itself is an un-Christian worldview, rooted in ideas about power, race, and property that are irreconcilable with Christian faith. Campbell has come to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists, reaching out to them with the love and freedom found in Christ.
Disarming Leviathan aims to:

- provide a deeper understanding of the modern American Christian Nationalist movements and their relationship to American Evangelicalism.
- explore reasons why so many of our loved ones are committed to it.
- equip Jesus-followers with loving, hospitable methods for engaging American Christian Nationalists.
- provide graciously subversive methods for responding to American Christian Nationalist rhetoric, beliefs, and practices.

Christian nationalism has become an established feature of the American political landscape. With Disarming Leviathan, you can be prepared to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus.
