The Semi-Buddhist Essenes is a book written by Dwight Goddard. The book explores the similarities between the Essenes, an ancient Jewish sect, and Buddhism.

The book also delves into the history of the Essenes, their way of life, and their beliefs. Overall, The Semi-Buddhist Essenes offers a unique perspective on the Essenes and their relationship with Buddhism.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Was Jesus Influenced by Buddhism?, by Dwight Goddard.
