A JESUS OF NAZARETH

A genre-breaking work readily encouraging and lending itself to comparison and contrast with the Holy Bible, the Holy Qur’an, and the Holy Tanakh as well as with the principal philosophical Taoist texts, namely the Tao Te Ching and The Chuang-Tzu. Essentially a contemplative work, written as it is to be interpreted both exoterically and esoterically is an attempt to restore to the bright – the light, the memory, and the power of insight, dream, and intuition. A necessary caveat respectfully to the reader: neither the Jesus of the Gospels nor the Isa (Arabic for Jesus) of the Qur’an exists here within no more. Rather what exists here within is a Jesus of Richard’s own inspiration, and, who to his own heart is eminently credible, enjoyable, and profound. The work traverses the lands we in modern times would refer to as the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. {Cover artwork: ‘Composition’ Andrée Rexroth (1902-1940)}
