Christopher Knight Bücher

Wen umhüllte das berühmte Grabtuch von Turin wirklich? Dieses Buch gibt den erhitzten Diskussionen um das Grabtuch von Turin eine sensationelle neue Richtung. Die Analyse der Autoren zeigt, dass es nicht Jesus Christus, sondern den Körper des letzten Großmeisters der Templer umhüllte, der von der Inquisition gefoltert und gekreuzigt wurde. Knight und Lomas gewähren Einblicke in die Geschichte des Geheimordens der Templer, in die Ursprünge und Rituale der Freimaurer und das Leben des „zweiten Messias“. Ein fesselnder Mix aus unglaublichen Enthüllungen, wissenschaftlichen Thesen und mystischen Gedankenspielen. Aufregend, spektakulär und herausfordernd

Sind die Freimaurer die großen Weltverschwörer? Oder sind sie die Erben der wahren Lehre Jesu? Sind ihre Rituale uraltes Geheimwissen aus den Zeiten der Pharaonen? Noch immer ist die Freimaurerei für viele Menschen geheimnisumwittert. Aber auch die Freimaurer selbst verstehen den Sinn der Rituale, die sie vollziehen, kaum. Was bedeuten sie tatsächlich? Christopher Knight und Robert Lomas zeigen eindrucksvoll, daß die Freimaurer in ihren Initiationsriten für den ersten, zweiten und dritten Maurergrad Rituale verwenden, die auf ein uraltes Geheimwissen zurückgehen. Dieses Geheimwissen hat seine Ursprünge bei den ägyptischen Pharaonen und der Glaubensgemeinschaft der Essener, der Jesus entstammte. Die frühen Christen vergruben ihre wertvollsten Schriften unter den Tempeln Jerusalems. Es waren über tausend Jahre später die Tempelritter, die diese Schriftrollen fanden und die darin enthaltenen Lehren übernahmen. Diese Schriften zeichneten ein ganz anderes Bild von Jesus, als jenes, welches die katholische Kirche präsentierte. Die Kirche erkannte diese Gefahr und vernichtete den Templerorden. Das von den Templern erlangte Wissen konnte trotz der Verfolgung bewahrt werden. Das Buch gipfelt in der Überzeugung der Autoren, daß in den freimaurerischen Ritualen ein verborgener Hinweis auf den Aufenthaltsort der Schriften Jesu enthalten ist …

How do we understand and articulate our Christian faith in the age of science? Are the two in conflict? Fr Christopher Knight - a theologian who also holds a doctorate in astrophysics - is well-equipped to guide us through these questions. He argues that not only is there no conflict between faith and science, but our contemporary scientific worldview can be deepened and refined by engagement with the riches of the ancient Orthodox tradition.

Is Freemasonry nothing more than a benign and charitable men's social club as the Order insists or does it have a deeper and perhaps darker purpose? Could these men be part of the "Illuminati" -- a group of intellectuals with extremely grand plans for the development of civilization? And if so, what is the grand plan that these men were so determined to bring about, and why should there be such opposition to it? Christopher Knight and Alan Butler reveal that present-day Freemasons are the spiritual descendents of an ancient priesthood that was forced to act in secrecy. In the early days of Christianity, their views offended and opposed those of the orthodox Church, and later in feudal Europe, both the State and the established Church considered them heretics and sworn enemies. Yet, they could not be silenced -- or defeated -- and members of this priesthood have continued to this day to work in subtle and sometimes subversive ways to achieve their aims, often occupying very elevated positions within Western society, and always maintaining complete anonymity to those outside their fellowship. The extraordinary story that unfolds in Solomon's Power Brokers reveals that the building of the modern world was no haphazard process. There was a grand plan -- and it has succeeded. The "New World Order" is already here.

This is the extraordinary story of Knight and Lomas's fourteen year quest to uncover the secret teachings buried beneath Roslin Chapel near Edinburgh. This book reveals for the first time why there were such high expectations of a Messiah at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ.

This is the amazing story of how a quest to try to crack the mystery of the Megalithic Yard—an ancient unit of linear measurement—led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of an unknown, highly advanced culture which was the precursor to the earliest known civilizations such as the Sumerians and the Egyptians. There must have been a Civilization One.Knight and Butler reveal the secrets of an extraordinary integrated measuring system which might have been lost to the world for ever. It was a system, far more advanced than anything used today, which forms the basis of both the Imperial and Metric measure systems! These ancient scientists understood the dimensions, motions and relationships of the Earth, Moon and Sun—they measured the solar system and even understood how the speed of light was integrated into the movements of our planet. Their conclusions fly in the face of everything that we thought we knew about the origins of the modern world—but the evidence is incontrovertible.And the implications of these revelations go far beyond the fascination of the discovery of a “super-science” of prehistory; they indicate a grand plan which may have far-reaching theological ramifications.

The moon has confounded scientists for many years. It does not obey the known rules of astrophysics and there is no theory of its origin that explains the known facts--in fact it should not really be there...The authors of Civilization One return, bringing new evidence about the Moon that will shake up our world. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler realized that the ancient system of geometry they presented in their earlier, breakthrough study works as perfectly for the Moon as it does the Earth. On further investigation, they found a consistent sequence of beautiful integer numbers when looking at every major aspect of the Moon--no such pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system. In addition, Knight and Butler discovered that the Moon possesses few or no heavy metals and has no core—something that should not be possible. Their persuasive conclusion: if higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is and where it is, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object. The only question that remains is, who built it?

Postmodernism has been a buzzword of contemporary society for the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this Very Short Introduction Christopher Butler challenges and explores the key ideas of postmodernists, and their engagement with theory, literature, the visual arts, film, architecture, and music.
