Sophia Bestiae: The Wisdom of the Beast [Paperback]

Edward O'Toole (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 6, 2006

After almost 2000 years of indoctrination, Man now has the chance to see God is His true light. Sophia Bestiae re-examines God, His origins and His behaviour - substantiated throughout with supporting Biblical passages - and proves that far from being the hero of the Judeo-Christian religion, He is evil incarnate. The Sophia Bestiae shows that Revelations 13:18 was correct in that the Time of the Beast is now, but that The Beast is in fact Mankind - the true enemy of God. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Indexed for ease of use and quick reference, the Sophia Bestiae is an excellent reference guide for both beginners in religious studies and advanced. For anyone who has ever noticed the contradictory behaviour of God, or has ever called their Faith into doubt, then the Sophia Bestiae will explain why. After reading the Sophia Bestiae you will be in no doubt whatsoever as to the Secret Nature of God - and why He is planning Armageddon. Other books, such as the Black Bible, have looked at the hypocrisy and inconsistencies and evil prevalent in the Bible, but never before has a book shown the True Nature of God - a Being to be feared by Man as He is most definitely NOT our benefactor - he is our Nemesis

5.0 out of 5 stars Exposing Christianity, July 22, 2006

By 

Sinagogue of Satan "666" (Mountain View, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sophia Bestiae: The Wisdom of the Beast (Paperback)

Well, one good thing about all the exposure this book and the Da Vinci Code has received is that it is exposing people to old ideas they may not have even heard of before. Granted, there are a bit of liberties taken in the writing of this book, but there is still quite a lot of good information to be found. It at least introducing things that people can explore on their own. This book is filled with truth which was sadly downplayed or corrupted by the Catholic church and much of Christianity as a whole, it is worth re-exploring. Reality is subjective... -Sinagogue of Satan

2.0 out of 5 stars A Noble Effort; or, Worth Reading, Not Worth Buying, October 26, 2011

By 

Of a Thousand Doves (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sophia Bestiae: The Wisdom of the Beast (Paperback)

Good things about this book:

- Lots of passages provided from the KJV Bible backing up author's points, including passages/books generally bypassed or ignored by evangelical Christians promoting their "world view."

Not so good things about this book:

- Not much in the way of original insight. Each chapter basically includes a small blurb (a couple of paragraphs at the most) followed by a laundry list of Biblical passages with no extrapolation or discussion given.

- Not much in the way of academic material. Reading it, I didn't get the sense that the author had a particularly profound understanding of the Bible in general. Quote this book and you are likely to be shredded by an apologeticist who knows what their talking about. My observation is that O'Toole appears to be more of a conspiracy theorist than a scholar.

- Preachy, rant-like tone. The last two chapters read like a badly rehashed version of LaVey's works.

- Poor editing. Fancy "evil" looking fonts and cheap graphics give this book an almost immature, "evil lite" air.

My recommendations:

- Find an English translation of the Nag Hammadi's creation story and read that instead of this book's first section.

- Cross-reference every Biblical passage from this book BEFORE you use it in an argument to make sure you have the context down correct. (Search King James Bible online and you'll come across a site that lets you type in the book, chapter and line and pull the quote.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye opening and thought provoking!, February 3, 2008

By 

Hiram Augustus (Bisbee, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sophia Bestiae: The Wisdom of the Beast (Paperback)

This is one of the most eye-opening and thought provoking books that I have ever read. Regardless of your background or feelings on the subject of "God", this book will shed new light on his true work among the human race.Highly recommended for any "thinking" person.
