The Jesus Sutras by Martin Palmer
In 1907 in China, explorers discovered ancient scrolls dating from the 5th to 11th centuries, recounting a history of Jesus' life and teachings in Taoist concepts unknown in the West. This book provides a popular history and translation of these texts. It recounts the story of the first Christian missions to China and explains how the Church of the East blended Eastern and Western spiritual principles, and how Jesus became a Buddha Christ. The contents of each of the sutras are detailed and Martin Palmer also tells the story of the Taoist Christians and their teachings as well as his own rediscovery of one of the earliest Taoist Christian monasteries, an intact 8th-century pagoda, and its amazing statues and artefacts.| SKU | Unavailable |
