Glyn LewisDid Jesus Come to Britain?: An Investigation into the Traditions that Christ Visited Cornwall and Somerset

The info

This is a light book consisting of around 74 pages. For those who don't have the time to research more scholarly works, this is a study that takes into account all of the major works on the subject. It is a great primer and I would recommend this book for those who don't have the time to wade through the mounds of material the other scholarly works have on the subject. It starts off with one compelling point, the New Testament is silent on the subjects of his earlier travels and even travels during his earlier tenure as a traveling minister. the account though light, do make a compelling case of Jesus visiting the British Islands. there is no doubt that his Uncle, Josef of Arementhia was a trader in tin and one of the primary sources of tin in the British Isle.One would do well to consider, what we've been taught in Sunday school and Church, speaking as an Historical Theologian, is sometimes an accidental falsehood. Take for example, Josef (Jesus, we assumed and never questioned he wa s a carpenter. The word employed is a trade-smith, more specifically a skilled trade-smith such as a worker of stone, a stone dresser, or any of the other guilds. this is just one compelling example that what we believe is true is more than often not.I would recommend one do a title search of Jesus and the British Isle, or something along those lines. One need to remember out of mythos come reality for all mythos is based on facts.As a traveling minister Josef would've went to exotic locations such as Greece, Spain, (again there is compelling evidence he did visit Spain, so the British Isle would not be out of the question."Once again, though light, it is an excellent primer for a more serious study into the question of did he visit the British Islands.A limited sit of recommendations would consist of but not limited to the following, The Almighty King, New translations of forgotten manuscripts finally reveal the truth about the not so virgin Mary, the Holy Grail, and the bloodline of Jesus Christ, Did the Virgin Mary Live and Die in England? The Glastonbury Legends

This book is interesting in that it may fill in gaps of the life of Jesus between the age of 12 and beginning his ministry. It is not Biblical but seems logical.

A intersecting book and from living in South West England a fee years ago, this book authenticates local stories and facts. This is not talked about do to it does not fit into the paradigm that the world lives.

A very good read, and well researched...

The author many details and justifies the methods that serve as basis for their conclusions. It is more a scientific than a literary text.

I had heard this tale, before. The book certainly gave food for thought. Very interesting and logical, if you think the circumstances, and people's whereabouts are true. Even the sceptic could find something possible in this well written account. Would recommend this, especially if you are interested in English folk tales.

A good primer on the subject. While the author didn't go into a lot of depth on some areas, this allowed him to write a comprehensive yet short book on what is a huge subject.Definatley worth reading for those interested in the subject.

Contains some useful information, and inspiration for a few interesting sites to visit. It's a pity that there's no mention of the similar legends in other English counties. I'm frustrated that only the first 6 lines of William Blake's poem Jerusalem were printed in the introduction, whilst the rest of the verse was completely ignored in the book.

An amazing read. Traditions are always based in fact! Remember the story of Troy people knew that story was fake!!!!!!!!! That just means people are dumb and wrong most of the time!

Still reading it, but interesting
