Synopsis:
In 1958, Morton Smith travelled to Jerusalem to do research in the monastery library of Mar Saba, in the Judean Desert. What he found was no routine corroboration of New Testament history, but a precious fragment of a second-century document that would change our understanding of the work and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. The core statement in the secret gospel - the pronouncement that, when the young man came to see him, 'Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God' - is one of the most significant surviving indicators that Jesus may have conveyed a secret profundity, a revelatory and transformative spiritual event, to those of his disciples who were prepared to receive it. Therein lies the extraordinary value of "The Secret Gospel'. Whilst his scholarly credentials are impeccable, Professor Smith's theory - as he himself anticipated - has proven to be controversial. Meanwhile, " the Secret Gospel" invites a wide community of readers to share in the challenge of his discovery and to evaluate for themselves the provocative - and fundamental - questions it raises.
