| Synopsis: |
On Jesus introduces you to mnemonics, an art that was discovered in 600 B.C., and which is one of the five parts of the art of writing. This book marries religion with mnemonics, which is also the art memory. Religious people as well as non-believers will be curious to learn what many famous writers wrote surreptitiously about Jesus. By decoding the mnemonic structure of certain texts, statements are revealed that authors had to hide during the Inquisition. For instance, according to Martin, Cervantes, in his Don Quixote, has a character state that Jesus is the cause of all the suffering in the world. Not all these hidden statements are anti-religious and the book offers a healthy balance. Indeed, one of the authors examined in this book is Saint John of the Cross. This book also deals with the ways in which many educators, philosophers, and poets felt about images. |
