A few years ago, a rather obscure apocryphal Gospel from Egypt, falsely attributed to the 4th century Church Father Cyril of Jerusalem, actually created something of a stir in mainstream media.
The reason? The work, known as "On the Life and the Passion of Christ", claims that Jesus was - wait for it - a shapeshifter!
This idea apparently fascinated the Western media. It´s usually associated with Islam or Gnosticism, but as the blogger Paul D points out below, Jesus shapeshifting is actually a frequent occurence in the Gospels...
Paul D quotes from a book by Thomas F Matthews:
ReplyDelete>>>And regarding feminine depictions of Christ:
>>>Appearing in Gaul, Rome, Ravenna, and Thessalonica over a stretch of time from the mid-fourth century to the beginning of the sixth, [the feminine Christ] cannot be written off as a regional or transitory development. At the same time, the variety of contexts in which the feminine Christ appears suggests that there may not be any single explanation. (p. 135)
