	The Jesus Mysteries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freke and Gandy base the Jesus Mysteries thesis partly on a series of parallels between the biography of Osiris-Dionysus and the biography of Jesus drawn from the four canonical gospels.
		According to some critics, Freke and Gandy make selective use of quotations (suppressing those that count against their thesis), use out of date scholarship, and are driven by a new age and anti-Christian agenda.
		Freke and Gandy's selective quoting of the data seems to be driven by the results the authors wish to achieve, rather than by an honest pursuit of the truth.

	Timothy Freke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Timothy Freke has an honours degree (B.A.) in philosophy and has written extensively on world mysticism.
		He has co-authored with Peter Gandy several books including The Jesus Mysteries, which was a top 10 best-seller in the UK and USA, an Amazon.com 'surprise bestseller', and a 'Book of the Year' in The Daily Telegraph.

		Faith (as defined by Freke and Gandy as irrational belief in the face of the unknown) is the cornerstone of Literalist religion.

	Gnosticism Interview/Debate with Freke, Goodacre, Green
		Tim Freke: Certainly, by the end of it, we get a whole load of stuff which is deliberately against the Gnostics, because we've got this massive schism, but fundamentally, the message which you have there is it.
		Tim Freke: What is so difficult I think in opening up other possibilities to the traditional mindset, is that we have been entrenched in an understanding which doesn't work, and we need to go back and be willing to question each and every assumption that we are making about what Christianity is about.
		Tim Freke: Michael, I feel that the reason, that, from where I'm coming from, that you've completely misunderstand Gnosticism, is 'cause you see this as an either/or thing; it's either that it's all one, or that you have this relationship -- you're a separate being in relationship to God or unto each other.

		Freke and Gandy, nevertheless, attempt to prove that the biblical account of Jesus was a myth created by certain early Jewish believers based on the myths of the various mystery religions of the ancient world.
		Freke and Gandy argue that the account of Jesus’ virgin birth is based on prior mythology (29), but in fact, before the advent of Christianity, the mystery religions do not speak of a virgin birth.
		Freke and Gandy consider Paul an advocate of the mystery religions and an early Gnostic (159—175).

		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.
		Freke and Gandy are familiar with a significant amount of recent biblical scholarship, though they rely mostly on Elaine Pagels!s work on the Gnostics.
		Freke and Gandy take us on a wide ranging and well documented journey through numerous sources, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi library and Pythagorean and Platonic philosophy in an effort to show the mythical and philosophical antecedents of the Christian religion.

	Laughing Jesus - Review
		Freke admits on his webpage how he is disappointed by the lack of response from Fundamentalists about his previous books with co-author Gandy; hence, we get this - which, if the Stark Raving Looney party put out religious manifestos, this is probably what they would look like.
		Other issues raised: domestic camels are late (see here), the Yahweh/Asherah inscription (here)) and instead of argument by outrage Freke and Gandy can answer this (here) in response to their claims that God is brutal (try "merciful" instead!) Other objections (such as the early mention of the Chaldeans) can be answered generally with this argument.
		Freke and Gandy try to get around this by stating that only "some" gnostic views had this dying-and-rising Godman [56] while others didn't [160] It would have helped to provide the reader with documentation for these claims, as would sources for their claims relating the gnostics to the mystery religions.

		Freke and Gandy pose the view that Jesus was a mythical character created in the mold of the mythological Osiris/Dionysus god-man character.
		Using the writings of Paul and early Christian history as a basis, Freke and Gandy attempt to prove that the Gnostics were the original Christians.
		Timothy Freke is emphatic: "We want to start a debate, we want to open up these questions, we want to break some taboos so that we can ask these questions.

		By the time Dempsey had rejoined the racetrack he was down in sixth place, and the incident had allowed Freke to build a substantial lead over the chasing pack.
		Then Freke made a slight error at the first chicane, and suddenly Dempsey was right on his tail.

		Freke and Gandy manage to make a compelling case for an examination of the historical basis for a literal interpretation of scripture.
		This is the 3rd Freke and Gandy book i am reading and its clear that they know what their 'trump card' is; it's their attack on the historical existence of Jesus.
		Sadly Freke and Gandy have just over simplified things and selectively quoted just a bit too often for their thesis to hold any water at all.

		This astonishing book completely undermines the traditional history of Christianity that has been perpetuated for centuries by the Church.
		Drawing on the cutting edge of modern scholarship, authors Tim Freke and Peter Gandy present overwhelming evidence that the Jesus of the New Testament is a mythical figure.
		Far from being eyewitness accounts, as is traditionally held, the Gospels are actually Jewish adaptations of ancient Pagan myths of the dying and resurrecting godman Osiris-Dionysus.

	Review: The Remembrances of Elizabeth Freke
		This is not because she was toothless, lame, blind and probably bald and, as she said in 1711, 'a diseased criple with a rhumatisme and tisick confined to a chair for this eighteen months past' (p.158).
		There are two versions of these remembrances, one begun in 1702 when Freke was 60, and the second in 1712 when she was 70.
		Anselment is very good on the Freke genealogy, in placing the Frekes among the Irish Ascendacy and the English local gentry, and has searched the Norfolk parish registers for the Bilney tenants.

	Entheogenists and the Jesus Figure
		Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy are the authors of various books, they co-authored The Jesus Mysteries (1999 UK, 2000 U.S.) and Jesus and the Lost Goddess (released this week).
		Freke and Gandy aim to present the most sophisticated version of the Jesus and Sophia myth-cycle, and they portray it as experiential philosophy that includes sacred eating and drinking as the communion of the final stage, the mystic marriage.
		I insist that the real nature of this ultimate sacrament is entheogenic, but I don't expect Freke and Gandy to do any more than provide the same hook-in point that every Christian study provides when they show that the eucharistic sacrament is central, and may provide a regeneration that is experiential.

	The Remembrances of Elizabeth Freke 1671—1714 - Cambridge University Press
		In writing and then rewriting autobiographical remembrances recalling three decades of marriage and ensuing years of widowhood, Elizabeth Freke strikingly redefines the relationships among self, family, and patriarchy characteristic of early modern women's autobiography.
		Suffering and sacrifice dominate an extensive ledger of disappointment and bitterness that reveals over time the complex emotions of a Norfolk gentry woman seeking significance and even vindication in her hardships and frustrations.
		The infirm woman who eventually found herself utterly alone remained to the end a contentious, melodramatic, yet formidable figure - a strong-willed, even sympathetic person intent upon asserting herself against what she perceived as familial neglect and legal abuse.

	Jesus Mysteries by Freke and Gandy, 1999
		Here are some quotes and notes taken from "The Jesus Mysteries"" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy.
		The book is a summary of the theories and history of the Dead Sea Scrolls, with a lot of introductory text to each area of study.
		According to the original Gnostic Christians, the Jesus story is a perennial myth with the power to impart the mystical experience of Gnosis, which can transform each one of us into a Christ, not merely a history of events that happened to someone else two thousand years ago.

		We've been down the Freke and Gandy road before, see here, here, here and here where we found them to be misusing data to fit a Christ-myth thesis.
		And so, on with the book itself: We have Christ-mythers and liberal works being foisted upon the reader as "rigorous scholarship" [7]; yet on the same page they admit to circumventing the scholarly process in order to present their ideas to the public.
		Freke and Gandy don't define the word as such, but describe the group that holds to this as those who "[insist] the bible is literally the word of God and cannot be questioned" [76] - whoops, we have no problem with questioning it, what we want to know is, are these questions rational?
