{ "item_title" : "The Hymn of Jesus", "item_author" : [" G. R. S. Mead "], "item_description" : "The Hymn of Jesus is a book written by G. R. S. Mead that delves into the spiritual teachings of early Christianity. Mead was a scholar of comparative religion and esotericism, and in this book, he explores the Gnostic Gospel of the Egyptians, which contains a hymn that is believed to have been sung by Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper. The book includes a translation of the hymn, as well as an analysis of its symbolism and meaning. Mead argues that the hymn represents a mystical understanding of the nature of Christ and the universe, and that it contains teachings that are relevant to contemporary spiritual seekers.The Hymn of Jesus is divided into two parts. The first part provides an introduction to the Gnostic Gospel of the Egyptians and the historical context in which it was written. The second part is a detailed analysis of the hymn itself, exploring its themes of unity, transformation, and transcendence.Overall, The Hymn of Jesus is a thought-provoking exploration of the spiritual teachings of early Christianity and their relevance to modern times. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, comparative religion, or esotericism.The marvellous and beautiful Hymn, which is the subject of this small volume, is found in what are without doubt the Leucian Acts of John. �������This Hymn is no hymn, but a mystery-ritual, and perhaps the earliest Christian ritual of which we have any trace.������� This beautiful Hymn was supposed to have been sung by Jesus and His apostles before he was delivered to the Jews.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
