Our gospels relate the story of a Jesus who was born and then circumcised on the eight day. Then he vanishes, reappearing at the age of 13 for his first Jerusalem Passover. Here he confounds the elders in the temple while terrifying his parents who fear him lost. He then disappears for an even longer time, reemerging for his baptism and the selection of his team. What happened in the intervening years? This book fills in the gaps, year by year. This expanded biography will hold you spellbound as you discover in detail the matchless personality and loving character of God incarnated as man, the combined human and divine natures of Jesus of Nazareth.

About the Author
Native Chicagoan Louis J Bartolomeo is an architect living in rural New Hampshire for over 30 years. He studied at Rice University where he left prematurely for Cambridge to pursue the romantic and impoverished career of being a sculptor. Writing has been an avocation of his since he attended Jesuit Prep School. He joined a writers group in New Hampshire and wrote 97 columns for his local newspaper, The Conway Daily Sun, under a female pseudonym. Adam and Eve, his first effort of book length, is the realization of a concept nurtured for a dozen years before its final incarnation.

This review is from: Gospel Gospel: An Expanded Biography (Paperback)
As a long time student of the Urantia Papers, I was prepared to be unimpressed by a revised and, perish the thought, dumbed-down version of the most thrilling story ever told. Instead, I found Gospel Gosepl: An Expanded Biography to be a carefully edited labor of love. Louis J. Bartolomeo's retelling of the fourth and final part of the Urantia Papers, the story of the life, times, teachings, and religion of Jesus of Nazareth, reveals Bartolomeo, a New Hampshire architect and writer, to be a thoughtful and skillful editor with a light hand. It's an approach that is entirely in keeping with the daunting task the author set for himself.
I know of no other writer who has attempted to do what Lou Bartolomeo has accomplished. As one who, like the author, perceives the need for a less intimidating and more approachable version of part four of the Papers, I am delighted to find that Lou has produced such a lovingly edited work. No doubt purists will find fault with this or any other revised edition of the Urantia Papers, part or whole. We can hope such fault finding will lead to a wider and more vital discussion of the Papers and the concepts contained therein. Lou's labor of love brings to mind a quotation found in part three of the Urantia Papers: "The God-knowing individual is not one who is blind to the difficulties or unmindful of the obstacles which stand in the way of finding God in the maze of superstition, tradition, and materialistic tendencies of modern times. He has encountered all these deterrents and triumphed over them, surmounted them by living faith, and attained the highlands of spiritual experience in spite of them. But it is true that many who are inwardly sure about God fear to assert such feelings of certainty because of the multiplicity and cleverness of those who assemble objections and magnify difficulties about believing in God. It requires no great depth of intellect to pick flaws, ask questions, or raise objections. But it does require brilliance of mind to answer these questions and solve these difficulties; faith certainty is the greatest technique for dealing with all such superficial contentions." Gospel Gospel is a wonderful addition to the list of secondary works growing up around the Urantia Papers.

Excellent biography of JESUS CHRIST,
By H. R. Williams (Asheville, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gospel Gospel: An Expanded Biography (Paperback)
If you are bold enough and able to take on JESUS as BEST FRIEND, then this book is for you. It's like having Him with you every day, closer than a brother. Every human on Earth should read this book. The information within this book will transform any interested individual into a dynamo of love and service.
This book, if properly managed, would make a stellar television mini-series. Urantians, let's get to work on this.
