Embark on a worldwide journey with renowned scholar of comparative religion, Jacob Needleman, as he gathers together ancient texts and writings of the modern practitioners of essential Christianity. Needleman demonstrates that a more effective, contemplative tradition existed in the early church and continues today in the lives of extraordinary people whose stories he retells in the course of his own personal explorations into the realms of the spirit. By demonstrating how first century Christians believed and worshipped, Lost Christianity bridges the gap for contemporary seekers who feel something is missing in current practices and interpretations.
