H. Spencer Lewis portrays various aspects of the unknown life of Jesus based on records preserved in the archives of ancient monasteries of the Essenes and the Rosicrucian Order. These facts relating to the birth, youth, early manhood, and later periods of Jesus' life are not mentioned in the four Gospel accounts. This essay defends the hypothesis that Jesus survived his crucifixion. Intoxicating, powerful, often incredibly disconcerting, this book is a tour de force from a truly great Rosicrucian author, occultist, and mystic. In summation, this unusual book is a must-read classic for all students of enlightenment-both novices and seasoned scholars alike.
