Messiah in the Making

Who was Jesus? It is a question that has been asked and answered many times and in many ways throughout history. But in order to even begin addressing this question, the person of Jesus must be placed in historical and mythical context. Once this is done, some truly shocking answers emerge. Here is a man who was intent upon establishing the kingdom of God on earth in his own lifetime, a revolutionary leader with training in the mystical traditions of Egypt who would settle for nothing less than following in the footsteps of King Solomon, the pharaohs and the gods themselves. "Messiah in the Making" and its preceding companion work "Forged in Ancient Fires" form the two-volume set known as "The Phoenix Principle." Together, they survey Western traditions based on their origins in mythology and the cultural and political climate in which they developed.
