The Conspiracy of the Christ: A Memoir of Gnosis, History, the Secrets of Christianity, and Carlos Castaneda (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798305580532)

"LaFond offers an investigation of the true story of Jesus Christ in this spiritual memoir... The author explains in this personal account how ancient sources, such as those of historian Flavius Josephus, shaped his views, ... and he gives readers who are interested in questions of Christian theology plenty to consider." Kirkus Reviews

"...thought-provoking memoir that intertwines personal spiritual experiences with historical analysis to explore the true story of Jesus Christ... Overall, the book provides an enlightening journey into the intersections of history, theology, and personal spirituality." IndieReader Verdict

"LaFond threads together theology, psychology, skepticism, and spirituality. He attempts to uncover not just the historical Jesus, but a deeper, internal experience of "Christ" as universal awareness. This is no ordinary religious memoir; it is part philosophical musing, part confessional, and part critique of organized religion." Literary Titan Reviews.

"...the language is easy to understand and follows a scientific way of thinking, helping to counteract the book's casual organization. The fact that each chapter is written like an independent essay on a particular topic also leads to continual refreshed interest.... The Conspiracy of the Christ is a bold and illuminating theological memoir about faith, culture, and biblical scholarship, all considered against the backdrop of personal experiences." Foreword Clarion Reviews

History meets spirituality. A memoir of evolving thought uncovers details about the history and the spirituality of Jesus Christ. A complete look at early Christianity considering the new discoveries within the New Testament and an overview of all the primary textual sources in the context of spiritual experience. Comparisons with historical texts and the Gospels uncover the Herodian plot to kill Jesus, and the conspiracy to put Jesus on the throne of Israel. After the departure of Jesus, spirituality and practical needs held the Church together in spite of schisms. Some of the things unutterable and a secret theology. Entertaining and profound.
