Barbelo  (English, Paperback, Booysen Riaan)

Sometimes, we learn the most important lessons from reanalyzing something we think we already know. There seems to be so much we take for granted, and, throughout history, we humans have shown an overwhelming tendency to believe what we are told.

Everyone knows about Jesus, right? It would be safe to assume that Christians in particular surely do, and given the prevalence of this religion in modern times, it seems that even those outside Christianity are familiar with at least some understanding of the man behind the faith.

However, despite the widespread nature of the stories we all know so well, they are actually not based on fact, and beneath our mainstream acceptance are countless alarming stories that must be told once and for all.

"Barbeblo" does not bring new meaning to our understanding of Christianity, but a new understanding of Christianity itself. Intriguing, intelligent, and insightful, this text examines how those in biblical times actually perceived the one who came to be known as Jesus Christ, and the way he really acted while on Earth.

Sure to appeal to religious scholars, both seasoned and novice alike, this maverick text is well researched, well presented, and well worth the read.
