JESUS offers startling new evidence culled from hard-to-find Vatican texts, theosophical classics, legends and systems of hermetic symbolism to construct a radical new timeline for Jesus' life. The book clearly shows that Jesus spent seven years in Egypt, a number of years in England and several years in India and Tibet before beginning his public ministry in Palestine. This is the most comprehensive look at the direct links and similarities between Jesus' teachings and the teachings of various mystery religions and sects that were popular at the time, including the Essenes, Buddhists and Druids. Author Tricia McCannon offers compelling evidence that places Jesus' life and mission firmly within the context of deeper spiritual teachings that had come before him.
