The Lost Religion Of Jesus

Simple Living And Nonviolence In Early Christianity

BY KEITH AKERS WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WALTER WINK

Brief Description:
The author contends that there were many factions within early Christianity and that heresies were the norm in the first three centuries before Constantine. One of these factions was Jewish Christians, those that subscribed both to the teachings of Moses and Jesus. They believed that Jesus came to remind them of the fundamentals of Moses' law. Akers contends that it is in the writings of these Jewish Christians that the purist reflection of Jesus' teaching is witnessed and that his teaching was rooted in simple living and nonviolence. A thoughtful and provocative book.
