Therapeutae: St. John Never in Asia Minor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162624990)

Therapeutae: St. John Never in Asia Minor is a book written by George Reber. The book explores the history of the Therapeutae, a Jewish sect that existed in Egypt during the first century CE. The author argues that the Therapeutae were not, as previously believed, a precursor to Christian monasticism, but rather a distinct group with their own unique beliefs and practices. Reber also challenges the traditional view that the Apostle John lived and worked in Asia Minor, instead arguing that he was actually a member of the Therapeutae and lived in Egypt. The book draws on a range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and modern scholarship, to support its arguments.Overall, Therapeutae: St. John Never in Asia Minor is a thought-provoking and well-researched book that sheds new light on the history of the Therapeutae and the life of St. John. It will be of interest to scholars and students of early Christianity, Jewish history, and ancient religions.1872. This volume exposes the frauds of the churchmen of the 2nd century. Let the reader imagine that he is in Jerusalem, in Judea, about the year AD 34. There is unusual tumult in the vicinity of the Temple. A large crowd has gathered, and is swayed like the billows in a storm. As we approach, we see a young man, who is trying to raise his voice above the din. There is something very striking about his looks. His eyes gleam with an unearthly light. As the crowd surges and threatens, he is calm. His thoughts and looks are directed more to Heaven than Earth.
