Tripping Lightly Books

A controversial and dynamic new rendition of the story of Jesus.Based on the Gospel According to John, the book challengesacademic methodology and the Christian tradition; it presents Jesus as a Samaritan, whose goal is to reinstate a priestly kingdom at Shiloh.

The key to understanding the Gospel of John lies in one’s understanding of Jesus’ discussion with Nicodemus. The ‘rebirth from above’ implies the sloughing off of an old paradigm and the willingness to accept a new one. This seven-year investigation has resulted in one of the most enlightening interpretations of the historical Jesus for decades. From simple numerology to complex biblical allusions, from deciphering commission names to recognizing parallels in historical texts, Our Man in Judea presents a new – or perhaps ancient – understanding of Jesus’ heritage, mission, and fate. It's time. Some of the conclusions are: - Jesus was a Samaritan (descended from Joseph), self-appointed high priest - He is the 2Esdras character, Salathiel - He attempts to symbolically unify the tribes by "gathering the Remnant," in preparation for the coming of God’s new kingdom - He challenges the temple priesthood by creating an alternative priesthood that is anointed, hereditary, and, it seems, legitimized by the Ark of the Covenant - The priesthood/kingdom is based on the religion of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph…and rejects the monarchy of Judah - The link to Moses is all but broken, as Jesus rejects Moses’ Egyptian-based religion and the alleged erroneous choices made by those who followed him. The point, for Jesus, was that Joseph had been elected the head of Israel, not Judah, and that it was the northern, "lost" tribes that retained the true religion of their forefathers - Jesus chooses Lazarus, not Peter, as his successor and right-hand-man - Lazarus and Mary Magdalene are united in a symbolic marriage that represents the reuniting of the northern and southern tribes - Mary has Jesus’ child, though Jesus is already married to Martha - Mary, Lazarus, and the child become what later Christians referred to as the "Holy Family" - Jesus IS recorded in the histories of Josephus, but not where most people think - Jesus escapes death and lives to establish his new kingdom at Shiloh, a symbolically profound site in Samaria. There are implications for Dead Sea Scrolls research and other NT investigations, especially into the nature of the Johannine Community and Paul's anguish over the "other gospel" that was circulating at the time. Similarly, those seeking further insight into the role and significance of John the Baptist will find much to debate, here.

The Song of Solomon (otherwise known as the Song of Songs, or Canticles), written by the post-Babylon generation during a time of social and religious reform, tells of King Solomon’s weakness for foreign women, and the consequences of his strategic alliances, especially with the Egyptian princess, Bathya. Dark, mysterious, and sensuous, Bathya is a priestess, a seducer of men, and an aspiring matriarch. Her role in the Song is intentionally sinister, as she was deemed to be the epitome of everything that was of danger to Israel. Her Egyptian sorcery and her desire to become Solomon's "Number One" wife (the Divine Adoratrice), make her a formidable adversary.   This new interpretation of the Song of Solomon provides a solid rationale for the work’s sustained inclusion in the canon, despite centuries of heated debate. It re-examines each stanza of the Song in detail, offering alternative, sometimes surprising insights into its original meaning and purpose. Themes included in this analysis are: the "little foxes" ; the gazelle motif ; the sister bride concept; spells, incantations & witchcraft ; Solomon's own magick ; madness ; idols ; feminine symbolism (walls, gates, witches, sex, mothers, vineyards, etc.); and much more. Written with anecdotal references for ease of style and accessibility.

This unique exploration into the cathedral at Rochester, in Kent, England, focuses on the minds behind the edifice, e.g., William the Conqueror, Lanfranc of Bec, Anselm of Canterbury, and the famous Bishop Gundulf. Emphasis is on these characters' personal theologies, mediaeval numerical symbolism, and how such concepts became part of the fabric of the cathedral. A pocket guide to the influences seldom discussed in tourist literature. Illustrated with black and white photographs and sketches.

History

This major new work constitutes over a decade of intense research. It reveals the original encoded secret about Jesus' relationship with Mary and the conception of a child - a 'secret' that has been hiding in plain sight for 2000 years Without understanding the theological and political context of Jesus' mission, we cannot begin to understand why the Mary Magdalene controversy is so significant (and worrisome) to Christianity. This daring new investigation removes the blinkers of tradition, both academic and religious, to expose a very earthly Jesus and a very profound ambition. The Da Vinci Code is just the beginning

Italian born, American painter of the late nineteenth century John Singer Sargent was a celebrated portraitist of the wealthy and their privileged world. Renowned for his exquisite naturalism some of his best work also shows flirtations with Impressionism, particularly in his evocations of childhood, and the light falling on the gorgeous gowns of his female sitters. This beautiful new book also offers a wide range his most delightful landscapes, travel scenes and watercolours.
