The Inner West: An Introduction to the Hidden Wisdom of the West
by Jay Kinney
2004 Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin

Written by the founder of Gnosis magazine, each chapter discusses one of the western esoteric traditions which have come down to us, from gnosticism to kabbalah to alchemy to rosicrucianism.  Bone up on your Hermeticism, Neo-Platonism, Swedenborg, Blavatsky and Gurtjieff, the original "new agers."

Andrew Harvey's celebrated book Hidden Journey chronicled the Oxford scholar's departure from the materialistic doctrine of Western academia to his embrace of mystical Christianity. Shortly after Hidden Journey's 1991 publication, however, Harvey experienced a schism with his then-guru that created shock waves throughout the spiritual world in which he is a leading mystical teacher. Sun at Midnight is the story of Harvey's efforts to pick up the pieces of his life, his faith, his marriage, and his sense of relationship to the Divine after a split that sent him reeling into depression, crisis, and fear for his life.

The book is based on the Christian concept of the "dark night of the soul," whereby a part of oneself must die for a truer faith to be born. In "seven acts," Sun at Midnight tells the story of Harvey's break with the discipleship to which he had previously devoted his life; his struggle to understand whether those years were wasted in blind fantasy; his ultimate realization of the all-redeeming power of love; and his revolutionary leap into a new, more direct relationship to the Divine.

When Jesus Became God
by Richard E. Rubenstein
1999 Harcourt, Inc.

After 300 years of violent persecution, Christianity made a dramatic breakthrough when Constantine became emperor of Rome.  This history of the Athanasian and Arian controversy reads like a good thriller at times, complete with murderous bishops, political intrigue and Rubenstein's own compassionate look at how the new mystery cult came out on top of all the others.

The Jesus Mysteries:  Was The Original Jesus A Pagan God?

by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy

2001 Three Rivers Press

Freke (a philospher and author of books on spirituality) and Gandy (who is studying classical civilization) believe that first century Jewish mystics adapted the potent symbolism of the Osiris-Dionysus myths into a myth of their own, the hero of which was the Jewish dying and resurrecting godman Jesus. Therefore, the story of Jesus is a consciously crafted vehicle for encoded spiritual teachings created by Jewish Gnostics. We are unaware of this, they claim, because the Roman Catholic Church destroyed evidence of the connection between Christianity and the pagan mysteries. They make their case by offering an examination of mystery religions, especially Greek, pointing out the many parallels between them and what they see as the Gospels' message about Jesus. Freke and Gandy are familiar with a significant amount of recent biblical scholarship, though they rely mostly on Elaine Pagels' work on the Gnostics. This book will obviously be controversial, but the authors are quite informed, as demonstrated by their extensive notes and bibliography. A list of related web sites, a Who's Who, and an index add to the book's usefulness. Recommended as an important book in the debate on the historical Jesus.
