Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Booth, a London publisher who has taught philosophy and theology at Oxford, is not shy about what he expects from readers — he asks that they enter into an 'imaginative exercise' and embrace a world in which 'the basic facts of history can be interpreted in a way which is almost completely the opposite of the way we normally understand them.' That radical re-interpretation is based on the tenets offered in the 'secret teachings' of Rosicrucians, esoteric Freemasonry, Sufism and Kabbalism, among others, with additional references to Eastern religions and Greek and Roman mythology. According to Booth, these teachings inspire the 'cosmic mind' that brought into being the material universe. Booth's history incorporates so many disparate philosophies, many of them far, far away from the mainstream, that it lacks all coherence. And his universe is full of bizarre theories, entertaining primarily for their weirdness. For example, he posits that the angels in the ancient Hebrew Book of Enoch 'who became sexually attracted to human women are none other than the Gods of Olympus.' It is hard to imagine that readers without Booth's predilections for the metaphysical will find this to be anything more than an earnest curiosity. B&w illus." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:In this groundbreaking new work, Booth embarks on an enthralling intellectual tour of the worlds secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise--that everything taught about the worlds past is corrupted--the author produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years.
