Presenting a macro view of the major religionsBy Jon BurnhamThe genius of this book is the way it takes the macro view of the three major historical religions. Rarely do we find such a clear focus from such a wide angle point of view. By zooming out on the three religions; and I mean zooming all the way out into outer space and looking back at them from a space satellite point of view as it were; the author discovers similarities that are not apparent in a close up examination. As it turns out viewing these religions from such a far distance; from the perspective of our sun looking down on planet earth; turns out to be a natural and organic viewpoint to take. It is; in fact; the proper angle from which to view the origins of these religions; for only from this macro perspective do we discover what they share in common. We discover the roots of the three major religions are grounded; earthed; and birthed in solar mythology. This is the common baptism in light shared by each of the three major religions. Such a revelation becomes apparent only by taking the macro view. That is the genius of the authors approach in this book. This book is not light reading but it is illuminating for those who wish to view the three major religions from a cosmic perspective.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I use this book more like a reference book so dont expect it to read ...By StarPathOneThe most comprehensive author on this subject. So much that it has taken the rest of the field to catch up to how thorough this book is in comparison to other works. There has been many naysayers about Acharya S; and Ive personally seen that they havent even read her work despite their unsupported criticism. I use this book more like a reference book so dont expect it to read like a narrative novel as it is so jam packed with info it would be impossible to remember it all in one sitting. I cringe to imagine how many laborious hours of research and study has gone into writing this book as it seems to leave almost no stone unturned....truly amazing work.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Very importantBy BJSThis is a very important book. The writer shows with tons of information and historical references how ancient religions were created and how they hang together. It also explains how biblical texts are really to be understood and how they were designed to impart information to the initiated while leaving the uninitiated with stories that were never meant to be taken literally.Read this book and you will understand how billions of people are caught in the matrix - a surreal world conjured up by cunning priests over centuries.For a comparison with the Bible and other holy scripture I recommend The Life of Apollonius of Tyana. It was written in antiquity and at the time millions believed the miracles described in it just as today many believe the miracles of Jesus.
