The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ: From an Ancient Manuscript, Recently Discovered in a Buddhist Monastery in Thibet, Translated From the French and Ed - Paperback

by Nicholas Notovitch (Author)

An insight on the life of Jesus Christ between the ages of 12 and 29 and the journey of the man who sought out, translated, and later published the details of these missing years.

Nicholas Notovitch was a Russian journalist and explorer who, during his travels through India, learned of the relationship between Buddhism and Christianity. He also heard of Prophet Issa, a man of Jewish origin who lived in Palestine and Egypt, and the Tibetan scrolls chronicling the prophet's time in Asia.

Nicholas was determined to visit all the Tibetan monasteries to learn more about Prophet Issa, and hopefully find the sacred scrolls. This is the start of the journey from which we will ultimately learn of the lost years of Jesus Christ.

The details Nicholas gives of his time in India paints a picture of the landscapes and people that truly sets the scene for the translated scriptures. And while the authenticity of the documents is still debated today, this book remains both illuminating and thought-provoking.
