History meets spirituality. A wider look at early Christianity considering all the primary textual sources in the context of spiritual experience. Entertaining and profound. Author of Jesus Christ Divided, Michael LaFond presents a memoir of his miraculous spiritual journey searching for the real Jesus Christ through personal experience, writing history, and beyond. New revelations of history and spirituality of Jesus Christ, from Plato to Castaneda. In a memoir of spiritual experience and searching for the truth, Michael LaFond leads us through his study of Jesus Christ, as a Catholic and as a historian, arguing that the personal spiritual experience of ancient Christians was important to the historical success of Christianity. All relevant texts are discussed from new perspectives, outlining the events and actions around Jesus Christ in greater detail. Various early Christian interpretations of Jesus Christ and ideas of the afterlife are discussed. In the spiritual teachings, Michael LaFond finds surprising parallels with shamanism as described by Carlos Castaneda. Jesus Christ and John the Baptist knew what they were doing. They were changing Jewish practice and belief, so it is accurate to say they were creating a new religion, although they would have claimed to be perfecting Judaism. While the explanation of their activity may have changed over time due to changes in events and situation, the core message remained the same: Jesus was the Messianic king of Israel. However, the conspiracy strove also towards ancillary goals of the spiritual empowerment of the followers and the prevention of violence through the teachings of Jesus Christ.
