The Gospel of the Holy Twelve: Known Also as The Gospel of the Perfect Life

by Gideon J. Ouseley

The Gospel of the Holy Twelve is a publication from the early Christian era which was first serialised in The Lindsey and Lincolnshire Star newspaper between July 30, 1898 and March 10, 1901. The first collected edition of essays (or ‘Lections’) by the author, a former clergyman, Rev. Gideon Jasper Richard Ouseley (1834-1906) was published in 1901.

The Gospel of the Holy Twelve presents vegetarian versions of traditional teachings and events described in the canonical New Testament. This Christian Dispensation that was pieced together from the most ancient and complete collection of Christian fragments, preserved in one of the Monasteries of the Buddhist monks in Tibet, where it was hidden by some of the Essene community for safety from the hands of the Corrupters and for the first time to be translated from the Aramaic.

Revelatory for those who believe

Lots of typographical errors. But the essence is not obstructed.
A good read for those who revere the Bible but accept that it has been corrupted and is incomplete.
A bridge between Christianity and the prophets of other great faiths for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

I felt the Truth of this book in my Spirit

There have been many Versions and Translations of The Story of Christ and all have to be discerned by the Spirit of Truth. This book touched a place within and struck the cord of Truth

It was great to have confirmation that Jesus also healed animals.

The gospel is one which is in consonant with the natural laws of nature. Dspeite the disputed nature of the book, it presents the Saviour in the light of a true Saviour of the world, not just man.
