Synopsis

David Gaston is a retired Solicitor and Lecturer living on the beautiful north coast of Ireland.
Shocked by a claim made in a television documentary that Jesus had been a member of the Essenes, he decided to investigate this ancient Jewish sect. Whilst being familiar with the New Testament, having attended church for many years, been at Christian conferences and read Christian books, he knew next to nothing about the Essenes. What he discovered led him, much to his surprise, to Bible passages and references he had never fully understood.
This book is a must for those who have ever wondered:
Who were the Essenes, the Sadducees or the Pharisees?
Who was it who said "Love your neighbour and hate your enemy"?
What is the Parable of the Dishonest Steward all about?
Who was the Prodigal Son's righteous brother meant to represent?
Why did John the Baptist eat locusts and wild honey?
Who were "the Nephilim" and "the sons of God" mentioned in Genesis Chapter 6?
What are the "imprisoned spirits" mentioned in 2 Peter and the "celestial beings" in Jude?
And why did Jesus call Himself "the Son of Man!?
It does not claim to provide all the answers. But it may give you some interesting food for thought.
