A heretic in medieval times was anyone who dissented from the Church. Courageous and steadfast dissenters included the Knights Templar, the Freemasons, the Cathars, and scientists of the day. These groups had a mission: to safeguard the truth about Jesus Christ and his ministry, which they believed had been rejected and suppressed by ruthless oppressors in the name of the established Church. Persecuted, they devised an ingenious and complex secret code for communicating with others of like minds and to preserve the truth for future generations. The code was concealed in symbols, hidden in the art, artefacts and architecture of the medieval world. Although this "hidden symbolism" can be deciphered with the help of certain keys, there will always be an intuitive element to the understanding of the coded messages. This book is an inspiration to examine the artefacts, paintings and architecture, looking for the hidden codes - to experience the mystical sensation of discovering the secret messages meant for us and our descendants as much as for the artists' contemporaries.

From the publisher's blurb: ''It was a dangerous matter to be a dissenter from the orthodox Christian Church in medieval times. To be branded a heretic invited torture and execution. Courageous and steadfast dissenters included the Knights Templar, the Freemasons, the Cathars and scientists of the day. Their avowed intention was to safeguard the truth about Jesus Christ and his ministry, which, they believed, was revealed in early scriptures and had been rejected and suppressed. They devised an ingenious and complex secret code for communicating with others of like mind and to preserve the truth for future generations. This code was concealed in symbols which were hidden in the art and artifacts of the medieval world.''

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Expanding on issues touched on in The Da Vinci Code, this thought-provoking study explores the real story of Christianity a story told by men and women condemned by the traditional, orthodox church, and one long hidden in mysterious codes and symbols. In medieval times, dissenters believed the established church ruthlessly suppressed the truth about Jesus and his ministry. Branded as heretics and subject to torture and execution for their beliefs, the dissenters including the Knights Templar, Freemasons, Cathars, and groups of scientists devised an ingenious code to communicate with fellow sympathizers and preserve the truth. They concealed these complex symbols in art, artifacts, and architecture of the medieval world. Finally, this fascinating underground language is deciphered revealing powerful messages meant as much for today?s truth seekers as for medieval minds. Nº de ref. del artículo: SKU2020023419
