Product Description

Review

'Darlison begins by looking at different scholarly approaches to the gospels, then outlines his astrological interpretation logically and lucidly, matching the zodiacal signs to the narrative of Mark' Fortean Times

Product Description

Who was Jesus Christ? Did he exist? For millennia, the world has been driven by the differences between the great patriarchal religions. Western civilization - or Christendom, as it was once called - got its values and its confidence from a belief in God, the father, and Jesus, his only son. But what if this conviction were founded on an error? Who is the man in the factually inconsistent Gospel stories? And who is the man who makes a brief appearance carrying a jar of water? This extraordinary study suggests that Jesus never existed historically; he was in fact a representation of the zodiac sign, Aquarius. The Reverend Darlison demonstrates that all the other signs are present too, in perfect zodiacal order. The Gospel story is not the product of historians or eyewitnesses, but an older, mystical text produced by an ancient, esoteric school as a guide to the Age of Pisces.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Star Gazer's Gospel, 21 Nov 2007

By	DB "davidbirkett" (Ireland) - See all my reviews

I must first declare an interest. I know and like Bill Darlison, and we even share a birthday, which could be significant given the theme of the book. On the other hand, I am an extreme sceptic, particularly about astrology. There is evidence, at least for northern hemisphere temperate zones, that the season of your birth can have an influence on your psychological profile, which sort of makes sense and which would explain most of the apparent successes of horoscope casting. But as for the stuff about "constellation X being governed by planet Y", I have just two words to say, and one of them is "jumbo".

But in a way this is irrelevant to Bill Darlison's main thesis, which is that Mark's gospel is packed with zodiacal references, albeit coded so that only the cognoscenti of the time would pick them up. What is important is that the wise men of the first century certainly did believe in astrology.

The book's presentation of the zodiacal structure of the gospel is pretty convincing, so we are forced to conclude that one of the (many) readings of Mark is as a sort of month-by-month "self help" manual for spiritual development. As we pass through the year we should learn to use the strengths associated with each sign, while trying to avoid the weaknesses. But of course this is good advice even if you don't believe in astrology. Or even if you wouldn't call yourself a Christian. Read it whoever you are!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for the intellectually curious, 5 Dec 2008

By	Eileen Harrington (Somerset, U.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Gospel and the Zodiac: The Secret Truth about Jesus (Hardcover)

Much maligned as it was, The Da Vinci Code controversy opened up a whole area of scholarship on the early church and the gospels which was largely unknown to the general reader. This is a fascinating read and a work of careful scholarship by a highly literate writer, but also completely accessible to this reader. The idea that St Mark's Gospel is structered around the signs of the zodiac is astonishing to this cradle Catholic, but I think the writer makes a very strong case indeed. I recommend it and also look forward to reading dissenting viewpoints on this page in the future. Let's have a heated debate!
