An award-winning Canadian
graduate student asks:
* What happens when insights from business
administration are applied to Christian theology?
* What results
when lenses crafted from adult education are applied to ancient Jewish and Christian texts?
Educators understand that we are guided by codes or sets of ideas that govern the
way we perceive and comprehend.
These
codes:
* are transmitted and received through socialization (i.e.,
our parents, associates) and schooling
* tell us what to believe,
value, explain and justify. We take these systems of ideas for granted
*
are so deeply embedded that we are not even aware they are operating within us each time we form an opinion or make a judgment
upon someone or some thing.
İThe Secret Synagogue is a 216-page, non-fiction work that challenges the taken-for-granted.
Not only does it revolutionize the way we think about Judaism, Christianity and The Bible but it ends the fear passed on by
parents, traditions, and institutions. Applying three different lenses to selected texts reveals what has been hiding in plain
sight for over 2,000 years, namely İThe Secret Synagogue.
Three
transformational lenses [organizing perspectives] will change not merely what we know but how we know. They enable us to see
and to think differently about our taken-for-granted assumptions. The reader will discover
*
Who comprised The Secret Synagogue
* How The Secret Synagogue
became the conscience of the Jewish Establishment
* How The Secret
Synagogue was specifically trained to discipline men in power
*
Why the passing of The Secret Synagogue over 2,000 years ago also meant the passing of Christianity
*
Why The Secret Synagogue confined its rescue operation almost exclusively to the Jews
The document may prove especailly helpful to those in High Control Movements.
