Lecture & Booksigning: Alternative Theories About the Life of Jesus ChristBy William Bramley
Suggested donation: $5.00
Presentation Description:
Jesus Goes to Hollywood: The Alternative Theories About Christ, is a fascinating and controversial exploration of the many alternative theories that have been expressed about the historical Christ over the centuries. Readers of The Da Vinci Code and everyone else who is interested in the hidden evidence about Jesus will find a wealth of informatoin in this extensively-researched reference work. Bramley takes a no-holds-barred approach that is certain to spark lively debate.
Presenter's Biography:
William Bramley holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology followed by a JD (law) degree. He is the author of the New Age bestseller The Gods of Eden: A New Look at Human History. Jesus Goes to Hollywood is his second book, and it discusses more than twenty alternative theories about Christ, each one exhaustively researched and documented.
"Many of the theories touch on very sensitive and controversial matters, Bramley notes, but that is unavoidable when you look squarely at the Bible and the religions that existed during Christ’s era. I believe in putting all the cards on the table and letting the reader decide."
When asked if he believes all of the theories that he presents, Bramley replies, "No, not all. My mission with this book is not to convince the reader of anything, but to provide a reference book. The Da Vinci Code has created enormous interest in the alternative views about Christ, and Jesus Goes to Hollywood explores them in detail."
Bramley professes to be "spiritual but not religious" and has no formal religious affiliation. He says that his education reflects his lifelong interest in human society and its dynamics.
"I wrote Jesus Goes to Hollywood because religion has always been such an important force in society, for good and bad, and we certainly see that in today’s world. Although I am not a Buddhist, I like its idea that it is important to see the world as it is without delusion. Separating fact from fiction in the realm of religion is not easy, but I think that is becoming more important that we try to do so. The consequences of ignorance are becoming too severe."
