Covering secret societies, mysterious ancient traditions, and the often-mistaken history of the world's religious symbols, this book takes readers on a tour through the fascinating world of religious symbolism and reveals the most mysterious and misunderstood facets of religion. Hidden Religion: The Greatest Mysteries and Symbols of the World's Religious Beliefs not only explores the history and origins of widely recognizable symbols, like the Christian cross and the Star of David, but also introduces readers to more obscure symbols from religious traditions around the world—even defunct ones like those of the ancient Aztec and Mayan societies. In addition, the book discusses the "religious secrets" found in the major religions, including secret societies of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. Containing more than 170 entries, the encyclopedia is organized by religious category, such as Abrahamic, East Asian, and African Diasporic religions, then alphabetically within each category. Each entry is prefaced with a short introduction that explains where and when the religious tradition originated and describes the religion today. This information is followed by an analysis of the historical development and use of symbols along with an explanation of connections between symbols used by different religions, such as shared astrological symbolism in the form of moon, sun, or star motifs.

Religion: Secret Religion is part of the Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks series dedicated to the study of religion. Composed of twenty-four thematic chapters, this volume looks at the margins of religion or religious texts and traditions that are not considered authoritative by orthodox communities. The volume is broken down into three sections that correspond with different classifications of religion in the margins: gnosticism, with its focuses on knowledge of a transcendent God who is the source of life and the human spirit; esotericism, with its focus on private religion kept from the public and critical of orthodoxy; and mysticism, with its focus on immediate contact with the ultimate reality. Each classification will be explored historically and comparatively to give the reader a more rounded understanding. The volume also includes bibliographies, filmographies, images, a glossary, and a comprehensive index, all of which aid the reader in exploring this rich, rewarding, and relevant field.

Hidden Christians in Japan: Breaking the Silence examines the contemporary issues facing hidden Christian communities in Japan, looking at how these issues have resulted in the discontinuation of hidden Christian practices, and how these communities adapt to their changing communities. For those who have disbanded or are deciding to disband, this book examines the ways these groups deal with keeping both the traditions and rituals of the hidden Christians alive and how it affects their communal identity as a whole. The way these communities choose to either leave their practices behind as a forgotten legacy of their ancestors or publicly preserve their artifacts and traditions through various means can have a dramatic impact on how the world is able to finally understand their views, but more importantly, how hidden Christian communities cope with the loss for these familial traditions.

This book, The Hidden Revelation, started out because of my search for knowledge and my in-depth studies of various religions. I realized that we are more alike than we are different through that search. I realized that the major religions of the world have more similarities than differences, yet we think we are so different from each other. Various parts of the world, practices various religions and spiritual teachings and at the core, the very message, some traditions and some practices are one and the same. Then why do we fight in the name of religion? Why do we kill in the name of religion? Why do we look down at some, look up at some and don't look at some at all? Why do we discriminate and think we are better? The basis for this book, though not all encompassing, seeks to highlight, how the undertone of religions in the world are the same. How at the core, we are all seeking the same things in life- which is peace, love, harmony, contentment, happiness and a connection to a power bigger than and greater than anyone of us. This book shows how no matter what religion we belong too, yes, there are differences but the similarities far outweighs them. So the question arises again, Why do we fight, why do we hate? If we are all so alike, we should be living in harmony, we should be at peace, we should be happy...the beauty is we can all have that. We just need to put our minor differences aside and connect at a heart level, at a spiritual level and see God in each other. Read the book and you would journey into a world where it is somewhat of a Utopia, but we need that in order to see the big picture and to understand love in the Universe. The settings used to describe various religions and practices, also takes you, on a travel and you get to picture parts of the world you may have on your bucket list. Even some world class travelers, who have visited some of these places, might also be able to see it from another perspective. If anything at all, you would find at least one nugget to help improve your life and your perspective. Spread love and unity!!

In Search of Japan's Hidden Christians is a remarkable story of suppression, secrecy and survival in the face of human cruelty and God’s apparent silence. Part history, part travelogue, it explores and seeks to explain a clash of civilizations—of East and West—that resonates to this day. For seven generations, Japan’s ‘Hidden Christians’ preserved a faith that was forbidden on pain of death. Just as remarkably, descendants of the Hidden Christians continue to practise their beliefs today, refusing to rejoin the Catholic Church. Why? And what is it about Japanese culture that makes it so resistant to Western Christianity?

Can you disprove me that Lord Krishna Enslaved the Black African of Egypt? To understand the origin of the Hidden Secrets of the Judaism Religions please read this description with open mind, I did spend 12 years to find out truth about my finding in my books I always was wondering why the members of the Christian religions in Europe, later America, and Australia were guided to study Egyptian civilization instead of the Caucasian Civilization.Indeed, I found out who is behind that guidance. The descendant of Lord Krishna helped the Roman Empire ruler to create this new Christian religion in the name of Jesus Christ after three hundred years of his death. First, they changed Jesus Christ original teaching and then made him be loyal to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) while in his life did not believe it. We are told he throw away the old testament, how can the members of the new Christian religion believes that the old testament is the source or references to their Christian religious Bible.Here is what I found about Lord KrishnaLord Krishna and The Establishment of the Egyptian EmpireLord Krishna and his brother Balarama's stories are the keys to understand Hebrew Jewish and Greek people past. It is clear from ancient document left in India that the Pandavas brother win Kurukshetra war and chased Lord Krishna and his brother Lord Balarama with their supporters and Kauravas army survivors out of today India and Pakistan to today Israel and Greek Island.According to the open sources with listed references 'During its long history, Jerusalem has been attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, besieged 23 times, and destroyed twice. The oldest part of the city was settled in the 4th millennium BC or BCE, making Jerusalem one of the oldest cities in the world.Note: The Temple of Yerushaláyim (Jerusalem) is built by Lord Krishna in 3100 BCE and Caucasian people lived on the land thousands of years on the land before his arrival.Archaeological evidence suggests that the first settlement was established near Gihon Spring between 4500–3500 BCE. The first known mention of the city was in c. 2000 BCE in the Middle Kingdom Egyptian Execration Texts in which he was recorded as Rusalimum. The root S-L-M in the name is thought to refer to either "peace" (compare with modern Salam or Shalom in modern Arabic and Hebrew) or Shalim, the god of dusk in the Canaanite religion.Author note: The Greek and Hebrew Jews scholars have been in control of histories and scientist or Archaeology in the last 2000 years. They wrote every kind of misinformation to serve their ancient Deva religion domination of the world. It is clear that Lord Krishna as the God of Deva religion did build the city of Jerusalem and used it as his headquarter to wage war against the Caucasian people as the members of the Aryan religion (Kurukshetra armies) under the leadership of the Pandavas brothers.The Egyptian Empire (3100 - 525 BCE) and the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt immediately followed the unification of Lower and Upper Egypt c. 3100 BCE and was assumed to include the First and Second Dynasties, lasting from the Protodynastic Period of Egypt until about 2686 BCE. Egypt was never conquered until 525 BCE when Emperor Cambyses II of the Median Empire, son of Cyrus the Great fulfilled his father’s dream to assume control of Egypt because the Egyptian of black Africans under the leadership of Deva religion leaders namely the descendant of Lord Krishna had waged war against the Caucasian people's Empires since its establishment.Egyptian-led black African tribes conquered the Caucasian lands around 3000 BCE and established two colonies, Canaan between the Red and Mediterranean Seas, while the brother of Lord Krishna by name of Lord Balarama settled on Greek Island with his followers and, which became the home base for the Egyptian Navy. Originally called Sea people, the occupiers of these islands were later known as Greeks. The Greeks, Armenians, Assyrian–Chaldean–Syriac, Amorites, Babylonians, Hebrews and others adopted Aramaic language, which is very close to the African Arabs language.

Highly acclaimed in Sweden where it was first published in both hardcover and paperback editions, A Concealed God poses two intriguing questions: •Does God truly exist? •If so, is the concept of God logical and in agreement with the knowledge of the world that science has provided to date? The God presented by most religions doesn't make sense in today's world; we have little room for miracles. Furthermore, there are irreconcilable aspects in the world's religions. Must we abandon our faith or belief in God? Perhaps not, says popular Swedish thinker Stefan Einhorn. We can behave as scientists do when they run experiments only to obtain contradictory results. They ask themselves whether there might not be a logical conclusion that binds all the results together and leads to the most probable explanation. Einhorn hypothesizes that if God truly exists, then many different religions would have discovered this. He finds a common denominator in the concept of a hidden God in seven major religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. But even with this shared belief, can we know if God exists? Did humankind create the idea of God to answer the unexplainable? What about evil and suffering, the absence of meaning in life, loneliness and insecurity? And most importantly, how do we search for a concealed God? Most religions share common principles for the search for "that which is concealed," including meditation, contemplation, and prayer. Whatever route is chosen, the search for God may bring us some answers. Einhorn concludes that two themes are central to the search: one is that God is both concealed and simultaneously omnipresent; the other is that only with utter humility and an awareness of our inability to fully understand may we approach the divine. In the end, there are no definite answers. But the search sheds light on the many paths to enlightenment offered by the world's religions.
