Average Customer Rating: 3.36 (25 reviews)

Summary: Not Heresy
Comment: Many people may think this book is heresy, but heresy is the truth.
Rating: 1
Summary: Sounds like...
Comment: Heresy to me. As a matter of fact the first Christians did not teach that Jesus was YHWH the Creator, nor that Mary was a 'godess'.
Rating: 3
Summary: Connecting mysticism and Christianity
Comment: Since Jesus didn't actually exist, this book is not about any real goddess either. If there's no Jesus, there's obviously no Mary Magdalene or Virgin Mary either. (and no Peter. But there is a Paul. Odd.)
But this book does have some insightful explanations of what I would call mysticism (rather than specifically gnosticism.) And it does suggest some interesting parallels between the Old Testament Jewish story, the story of Jesus, the story of Mithras, and other myths. But the OT and NT seem to much more specifically historical than other "myths."
I find much hard to swallow here--Jesus was first a mythological story later historicized? (doesn't it usually work the other way around?) And the Roman Catholic Church *caused* the Fall of Rome and the Dark Ages by killing all the (wise and gentle) pagans and gnostics? Um, I know the winners write the history books, but this seems like quite a lump to get down my throat.
I will say that I agree with their point that we don't need a goddess now, but an image of God that transcends maleness and femaleness both. But then the goddess remains lost, doesn't she? So their title is a bit of sensationalizing.
