The Naked Truth Of Jesusism: From Oriental Manuscripts (1914)

The Naked Truth of Jesusism: From Oriental Manuscripts is a book written by George Lyman Fairbanks and first published in 1914. The book is a collection of essays and lectures that explore the origins and teachings of Christianity from an Eastern perspective. Fairbanks draws from a variety of sources, including ancient manuscripts from India, Persia, and China, to present a unique interpretation of Jesus and his message.The book is divided into four parts. The first part provides an overview of the historical context in which Jesus lived and the religious traditions that influenced his teachings. The second part explores the teachings of Jesus, including his emphasis on love, compassion, and forgiveness. Fairbanks argues that Jesus was not only a religious teacher but also a social reformer who challenged the oppressive structures of his time.The third part of the book examines the role of the church in shaping the message of Jesus and the ways in which it has strayed from his original teachings. Fairbanks criticizes the church for its emphasis on dogma and ritual at the expense of the spiritual essence of Christianity.The final part of the book offers a vision for a new, more authentic form of Christianity that is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and the wisdom of the East. Fairbanks argues that this new form of Christianity would be more inclusive, compassionate, and spiritually fulfilling than the traditional forms of the religion.Overall, The Naked Truth of Jesusism is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of Christianity and its place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
