The Wisdom of St. John, Second Edition - Bô Yin Râ

This work retraces the original contents of the Fourth Gospel before its text was mutilated by the early editors who made it fit the mold of the synoptic gospels in order to support the progress of the mission. The book discusses the historical events reflected in this Gospel, as they were witnessed by contemporaries, before interpretation gave the actual events another meaning. It describes the human personality of Jesus of Nazareth, his life and death, his public and private teaching, and, most importantly, it gives the real background on his spiritual mission. The book provides a portrait of the Galilean Master as his friends and adversaries knew him, before his life and person were deified, so as to serve as objects for the worship of the new religion. In separating history from legend, the book shows many ancient dogmas in a higher light: as symbols of enlightened wisdom which point the way to spiritual realities beyond the purview of dogmatic speculation.
