Excerpt from The Occult Life of Jesus of Nazareth: Embracing His Parentage, His Youth, His Original Doctrines and Works, His Career as a Public Teacher and Physician of the People, the Nature of the Great Conspiracy Against Him, All the Incidents of His Tragical Death We take great pleasure in being able to present to the world this unique work, The Occult Life of Jesus of Nazareth, by the spirits, Saul and Judas, through the mediumship of Alexander Smyth. We believe it will be instrumental in removing much of the rubbish, superstition and perplexing problems that have from the start clustered around his eventful life. There has been a vast amount of discussion in regard to this remarkable personage, who has constituted the corner-stone of the Christian religion, and who has been the innocent cause of more terrific wars, perse cutions, and bloodshed than all other agencies combined, and this book will in a great measure clear away the mists that have so long clustered around his eventful life and make clear many things heretofore badly obscured and but little understood.
