I have always imagined that Paradise would be a kind of library.
Jorge Luis Borges

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Saint John, Letter to Galatians 4:16

Freedom of Religion - Freedom from Religion - Freedom of Public Display of Religion and Traditions

We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. We command no worship. We mandate no belief. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave it bereft of belief. All are free to believe or not believe; all are free to practice a faith or not. But those who believe must be free to speak of and act on their belief.
--
Ronald Reagan (Temple Hillel Speech, 1984)

Appendix A - Bibliography


Reconstruction of Original Library of Alexandria
Author’s NoteSome of these books are in my personal library, a 35-year collection. Other references I was able to locate on the Internet and more literature will be available as the e-text, e-book system grows in the Virtual Library providing people access to books, previously difficult to obtain access from libraries around the globe and located only in museums. The Kindle system has helped greatly in providing people access to books, texts, and documents via the Internet. The Library of Alexandria, the original tragically destroyed was the ancient Wonder of the World; while the library has been rebuilt and restocked today, the Internet is truly a modern Wonder of the World as far as availability of information. However, the Library of Alexandria, reconstruction and modern version, is on my bucket list
Library of Alexandria Today


Andover-Harvard Divinity Library
The Sacred Texts website is a prime example of how the Internet has allowed access to text either long out of print or originally only accessible in certain libraries and museums. I have linked to this website whenever applicable so the reader may perform their own research in areas of interest from the comforts of their home computer, most are not likely to be available in the local library anyway. I have also linked books that are available as e-books to read on line or download, whenever possible.

They were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, between the 2nd century BC and the 1st century AD. The texts are important because they are the only Jewish Biblical documents from that period of time, and because they contain information political and religious information.

 Gospel of the Holy Twelve, The; translated from the original Aramaic by Rev. Gideon Jasper Richard Ouseley M.A.; Nazarene Way of Essenic Studies, Mokelumne Hill, 1996; Author’s NoteThe most ancient and complete early Christian text fragment that was written in Aramaic and includes the complete life and teachings of Jesus. The lections[1] of this ancient Gospel presented a higher moral and spiritual understanding than has been passed down through the canonized, authorized, Scriptures of the New Testament.
Gospel of Thomas, The; Original author: Didymos Judas Thomas, translated by The Nazarene Way of Essenic Studies scholars, late 19th century. Author’s NoteThe Gospels of the “authorized” New Testament were compiled many years after the death of Christ, and none of its authors had ever met him, nor could their writings be based upon an eyewitness account. Yet the words of Jesus survived, most of them being transcribed from a common source that had been familiar to the early Christians before the early Christian Church canonized and then destroyed the originals. It was originally assumed that Matthew and Luke were inspired by the writings of Mark, which is the oldest and the first of the four Gospels. But scholars discovered patterns in the Bible that meant there was an earlier source by which all Gospels had been used for its compilation. This “unknown” source would later be called the Gospel of “Q” from the German word “Quelle” that means “source.” In the late 19th century, several fragments of a Greek Version of the Gospel of Thomas were discovered among the Oxyrhynchys Papyri. See Greek Gospel of Thomas below.
Gospel of Q, The; Nazarene Way of Essenic Studies, California, 1996. Author’s NoteThe “Q” document, also called the Q Gospel, or the Sayings Gospel Q, is the synoptic or source in the 19th century Logia that is composed of hypothetical collections of Jesus’ sayings with the main source being the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The symbol Q comes from the first letter of the German word for source – Quelle. The Gospel of Mark provides one source and the “Q” the other. The existence of Q is from the argument that Matthew and Luke share material that does not appear in the Gospel of Mark. It is basically a document of argument concerning those differences.
Greek Gospel of Thomas, The; Greek version of Didymos Judas Thomas’ texts from Aramaic; translated by The Nazarene Way of Essenic Studies scholars from the Oxyrhynchys Papyri. Author’s NoteOnly fragments of this Greek version of the Gospel of Thomas were found among the Oxyrhynchys Papyri in the late 19th century. These fragments consist of the preamble, and sayings 1-6, 26-28, 30-32, 36-38, and 39, as well as a saying not found in the Coptic version, which follows 32. These fragments are found on Oxyrhynchys Papyri 1, 654, and 655. Most of the sayings are basically the same in both versions; however, the saying of 30 adds to the end of the Coptic version saying 77. The translation used in this Greek version is combinations of translations by B. P. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt and Bentley Layton.
