The Gospel Of The Second Coming - Peter Gandy

At last the long awaited sequel to the Bible has arrived. Gnostic
scholars Freke and Gandy present a post-modern gospel for the 21st
century, which is a profoundly satirical parable about the journey to
self-knowledge.
Jesus is back, but this time with a zany sense of humour, and he
wants to set the record straight.
He wants to prove that Freke and
Gandy's controversial theory about the origins of Christianity is
right.
So he sets out to convince his disciples that he's really not an
historical figure, but rather a character in an allegorical myth, which
encodes ancient spiritual teachings.
Jesus doesn't really exist, because he's a character in a story in
the mind of the author.
And this is important because the deep message
Jesus has returned to reveal is that the reader doesn't really exists
either. Life is like a story and we all exist as characters in the mind
of the Author of All.
The Gospel of the Second Coming is a life-out-loud book
which irreverently explores the deep message of Gnostic Christianity.
It presents a vision of the original teachings of Christianity that
some will find offensive, but other totally life-affirming. As Jesus
says himself in the text: "Death is coming. Life is foreplay."
