Celestial Teachings: The Emergence of the True Testament of Jmmanuel (Jesus) [Paperback]

James W. Deardorff (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1990 | Series: Jesus

In this well-reasoned book, meteorologist James Deardorff makes a compelling argument for the authenticity of , an ancient scroll that suggests that the origin of the Christian New Testament may well be extraterrestrial. Dr. Deardorff's arguments are always sound and often dramatic; such as the observation that stars don't point-UFO beams do. Deardorff shows how the original teachings were altered over time and finally transformed into the Gospel of Matthew. This stunning book is not for the timid or even for the conventionally religious. It is for the seeker who is not afraid to contemplate new and daring ideas.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

All Professor Deardorff asks of us is an open mind and a suspension of judgment until we have carefully studied all the arguments and data he brings forward. As someone who has worked in the study of World Scriptures at university level for 40 years, I admire his enthusiasm his adeptness in source criticism his fairness to his opponents and his manifest honesty.

This book by James Deardorff was a work of love and truth. In the papes of this book you will be able to take every line from the Talmud Jmmanuel book and understand how the original writings of the TJ have been changed to benefit religions of today. This book is very detailed and will take time to read and study.

This review is from: Celestial Teachings: The Emergence of the True Testament of Jmmanuel (Jesus) (Paperback)

If genuine, the Talmud of Jmmanuel is very, very important.

Was the real message of Jesus/Immanuel transformed by Paul and the very early Chruch? The "translation" (in German, then English) (of an aramaïc text) we can read is parallel to the canonical Mathiew Gospel with some differences. Does a hoaxer could have produce the text from Mathiew?

Deardorff presents the pieces of the puzzle (is this doc gennuine ? why we don't have the original ? Discovered in 1963, it was accidentaly burnt during Israel/Lebabon war) and, more importantly analyses, with a great exegetical competency, the differences between TJ and Mathiew, pericope by pericope. Conclusion: the TJ appears to be the "source" that Mathiew copied while largely editing all that seemed to him "heretical" along the views of the primitive Church. Deardorff arrives to a conclusion that seems serious (to me) without exluding along his research, the poossibility that the text could have been a hoax. So it's honest work, without prejudice.

If you follow the author's conclusion, you will understand why there was so many "gnostic" apocryphs in the second century (it seems to me that none of the experts of the field explains this fact)and you will have another view on some tenets of the christian Churchs.

So buy and read this book, now! I would especialy encourage all the pundits, experts, professors who are honest enough to be ready to "just" read a book that could subverse their ideas resulting from a whole life of hard work.
