The Gospel of the Holy Twelve - Hardcover

by S. G. J. Ouseley (Author), E. Francis Udny (Introduction by)

The Gospel of the Holy Twelve is a religious text written by S. G. J. Ouseley. It is a collection of teachings and sayings attributed to Jesus Christ, and is considered by some to be an alternative version of the New Testament. The book contains a series of teachings that emphasize the importance of love, compassion, and forgiveness, and encourages readers to live a life of service to others. The Gospel of the Holy Twelve also includes a number of parables and stories that illustrate these teachings, and provides a unique perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Overall, the book is a valuable resource for those interested in exploring the spiritual teachings of Christianity, and offers a fresh perspective on the message of love and compassion that lies at the heart of this faith.1923. The Rev. G.J. Ouseley was a priest, first in the Established Church of Ireland, and afterwards in the Catholic Apostolic Church. The Gospel was written down by him after he had received it in numerous fragments at different times from Emmanuel Swedenborg (who was seen by trustworthy clairvoyants and afterwards identified from a portrait shown to them), Anna Kingsford, Edward Maitland, and a priest of a former century giving his name as Placidus of the Franciscan Order, afterwards a Carmelite. The unseen communicators wished to reinstall passages that insist on the obvious, though often lamentably neglected, duty of love and protection for animals, relate a number of instances of the personal interference of the Lord of Love to save animals from ill-treatment and teach against the eating of flesh and taking of strong drink.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
