Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout the history of Christianity there have been those claiming a monumental secret. Often centred around the Church of St. Sulpice in Paris and associated with French esoteric circles like, alleged Grand Master, Claude Debussy who wrote in a review: "Perhaps it's to destroy that scandalous legend that Jesus Christ died on the cross." We know early Christians like Origen Adamantius wrote 'Crucifixion is teaching for Babes', suggesting it was not to be taken literally. And these beliefs were expressed by Canon Alfred Lilley who had been studying at St. Sulpice and returned to claim he had incontrovertible proof that the crucifixion was a fraud and that Jesus was alive well after the date of the supposed crucifixion. In the past, there must have been some documentation that convinced these people of something portentous. But now in the most compelling piece of detective work on the subject, author and filmmaker, Julian Doyle finally reveals the extraordinary facts that prove exactly what the this monumental secret was and its validity, by a simple time-line presented in the book, he shows that John the Baptist was still alive in 34 AD two years after the supposed crucifixion, which make it almost certain that Jesus was still alive after Pilate left Judea. Even more startling is the other knowledge Doyle uncovers about the beliefs of these esoteric circles about an extraordinary self-mutilation, which Origen Adamantius underwent and reported by Eusebius: 'While Origen was conducting catechetical instruction at Alexandria, a deed was done by him, which gave the highest proof of faith. For he took the words: 'There are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake', (Matthew 19:12) And in order to fulfil the Saviour's word, he carried out in action the word of the Saviour.' This is alleged to parallel events carried out by Arimathea in the tomb as his relics reveal: a cup to catch the blood, a sponge and a reed to keep open the urethra. In 1117 the same year as the formation of the Knights Templars, another insider, Peter Abelard was famously operated on by Fulbert, the Canon of Notre Dame, in a secret room, to also become semi-Angelic. These are not the only occult secrets to be revealed and are not the most startling. But to understand the real story of Jesus and certain features of the Parisian Church of St Sulpice and the one at Rennes-le-Chateaux these secrets are essential. The FACTS are undeniable. The EVIDENCE is compelling. But the CONCLUSIONS are ASTONISHING
