Edgar Cayce on Jesus and His Church

by Anne Read

“In the days when the Master walked the earth...”Among the thousands of life readings Edgar Cayce gave, several begin with these words. They are for people who in past incarnations were closely associated with Jesus.Using such records to supplement the New Testament, the author provides a remarkably full, intimately detailed account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, much of it in Cayce's own words.We learn that Jesus had appeared on earth in previous incarnations. We learn that the Essenes had predicted his coming by astrological means, and had trained the Virgin Mary from her childhood for her role as his mother.Edgar Cayce on Jesus and His Church will stir controversy, but it cannot be ignored by anyone interested in Christianity, reincarnation, or the relationship of man to his Creator.

Reviews

[Mark]

An interesting read although those familiar with the Cayce material know the wording of the readings can be difficult to follow (and why I gave it only 3 stars instead of 4). This book fills many of gaps in the story of Jesus’ life as related by the Bible. Some may think ANYTHING not included in the Bible as suspect, if not outright heretical, but judge for yourself - is there anything in this book inconsistent with the message of Jesus?

[Jonathan Harbour]

This will be sacrilegious to a Christian since it diverges from the New Testament. Cayce was reportedly upset by his sleeping messages about Jesus's early life. I found it to be interesting but hard to accept completely. Anyone who enjoyed The Young Messiah by Ann Rice (and/or the film adaptation) might be interested in this book as source material, perhaps.

Enlightening. Made the stories come alive in a whole new way. Couldn't put it down.

[Andrea N Downs]

Wonderful read.

Obsah je pofiderní.
Snaží se vytřískat senzaci tam, kde žádná není. Opravdu je potřeba „spícího proroka“, aby přišel s revoluční myšlenkou, že (útěk do Egypta) Byla to, jak Cayce říká, dlouhá a únavná cesta pro tak mladou matku s tak malým dítětem. Kdo by to byl řekl.

Některé věty by se měly tesat:
s. 46 „V té chvíli znovu slyšela sférickou hudbu, zpěv ranních hvězd a nabyla klidu, jenž byl pouze přerušován jejími každodenními starostmi.“

Korektura žádná, takže došlo i na věty typu: s. 29 Vdané době se narodil Jan .
