There was no cover up, there was a split and by the middle of the 2nd century the Jewish Christian group had largely died out. Though you could make a case for Islams as the logical heirs -- Robert Wright Evolution of God makes that suggestion. As for the author, he has a bachelor's degree in something. The book is self-published, thus not vetted by any scholarly groups. But, there was no cover up. This is just one more attempt to sell books on "alternative" theories.Robert Cornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581876323110725024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-24772102022288475322012-09-12T12:23:55.773-04:002012-09-12T12:23:55.773-04:00I wanted to share this book with you.

Goudge proposes that the Jewish followers of Jesus preserved the beliefs and practices of the original apostles: Peter, James and John. Therefore, the true heretics were those who created the new religion of the dying God (anathema to Peter James and John). Cover-Up: How the Church Silenced Jesus's True Heirs exposes the church's hypocrisy in first silencing those who truly followed Jesus and then exterminating them, just as they did the Cathars. I just learned of a new book – Cover Up: How the Church Silenced Jesus's True Heirs by Lawrence Goudge. I found it here http://tinyurl.com/69cazll. Let me know what you think of it.
