Book Description

Origins of Christianity March 2005
The Odes of Solomon is a collection of devotional and mystic poems from early Christian times. Lost for many centuries, the first of the two main extant manuscripts was discovered in 1908 by Cambridge biblical scholar, Rendel Harris, lying among a pile of unsorted manuscripts in a corner of his study.

These intriguing, lyrical and often beautiful odes speak of the soul's experiences as it travels the universal mystic path of the Creative Word or Logos. They also indicate that this is the path taught by Jesus.
Previously published only in various scholarly editions, this is the first rendering and presentation designed for the general reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Prose, July 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Odes of Solomon: Mystical Songs from the Time of Jesus (Origins of Christianity) (Paperback)
I was so pleased with this short book of prose. I'd never heard of it before. The passages and verses were often so moving and beautiful that tears came to my eyes. It is so praiseful of Our Lord. I wonder why these works aren't found more easily in other religious texts? You'll be happy with his book.
