Synopsis

The Code of Christ is Gerald Heard's sequel to The Creed of Christ. In this volume Heard emphasizes how, Christianity is in essence a way of life for us to live. That way of life is systematically presented in the Beatitudes, which contain, a message needing decoding. Heard authoritatively decodes this central message of Christ: The world exists for man to achieve union with God. The universe and life are the means whereby souls achieve Enlightenment and Liberation. Once enlightenment is achieved, the perfected soul turns back and stands incandescent with compassion, to light others on their way home. The Code of Christ is essential reading for those desiring a deeper understanding of Christ's message. Gerald Heard's thoughtful musings skillfully expound the mystical truths of Christianity.
