• “Albert Seidel offers a refreshingly pragmatic perspective on faith-based
mysteries.”
• “Detailed textual references to the Gospels grant credibility to his thesis.”
• “While some readers may find this text inherently blasphemous, others may find it cathartic and revelatory.
• “Тhis intuitively structured and comprehensive take on the heart of
Christianity is thought-provoking and eye-opening.”
★★★★★ Frank Mutuma for Readers’ Favorite:
• “The Secret Code of the Gospels by Albert Seidel reconstructs the earthly
story of Jesus.”
• “The Secret Code of the Gospels by Albert Seidel is an interesting read.
This thought-provoking work got me thinking not only about the Christian religion
but also about the historicity of other major religions, such as Buddhism. The careful
examination of the gospels shows the work is well researched. Albert also explained
everything well, which ensured the work was effective in passing on the intended
message without alienating anyone. I loved the numerous references, which means
this work can be used as a stepping stone to further exploration of the scriptures.
The reader will also appreciate the easy-to-understand language, which makes the
work accessible to all audiences. This was a very informative read, and I look forward
to reading something else by Albert Seidel.”
★★★★★ Leonard Smuts for Readers’ Favorite:
• “The book examines happenings from the nativity to the crucifixion, contrasting Jesus the preacher with Jesus the king (the latter a secular title). The author’s reconstruction paints a totally different picture of history that makes for interesting reading.”
• “Albert Seidel has produced some radical and intriguing explanations for
what may have transpired from the birth of Jesus to his ministry, crucifixion, and
beyond. Early Christian history is also examined. This is approached from a secular
perspective to provide a historical context, without promoting or disputing any
religious belief. The earthly story is substantially different from that accepted
by conventional Christianity and will have readers reaching for their Bibles.”
• “The writing is concise and backed by copious references. The Secret Code
of the Gospel may not find favor with mainstream Christians, but it should be read
with an open mind. It will certainly raise questions and spark healthy debate. It
is highly recommended for those interested in Christian belief and history.”
• “In Albert Seidel's The Secret Code of the Gospels: The Earthly Story,
Albert takes the path less traveled and reframes the Gospels as a hidden account
of power built around a single outcome that begins at the cross.”
• “As a person who spent many Sundays growing up in the hard pews of a sweltering
Baptist church, I could almost hear the collective pearl-clutching as I read Albert
Seidel's The Secret Code of the Gospel...and it made me smile. What I found really
interesting are the parallels that can be made to the world we live in today. Seidel
talks about imperial legitimacy, culminating in the identification of Constantine
as the intended beneficiary, covering the current interest in how historical texts
are constructed, and still used to support governing systems.”
• “Seidel writes in a comfortably instructional style, and I always knew
what he was saying with little effort, and he definitely keeps the material accessible
while still presenting detailed reasoning. This is the perfect read for those willing
to think beyond traditional teaching, with a strong argument that reframes the familiar
Gospels into a unified claim about power, lineage, and institutional formation.
Very highly recommended.”
★★★★★ Grant Leishman for Readers’ Favorite:
• “The Secret Code of the Gospels: The Earthly Story by Albert Seidel is
a serious and scholarly effort to critically examine the Gospels of the New Testament.”
• “Are the Gospels a truthful retelling of actual historical events that
occurred some two thousand years ago, by those who witnessed them? Who actually
wrote the Gospels and why? The author believes that the Gospels themselves give
readers a clue to the answers to those questions, with markers indicating the writer,
the purpose, and indeed the entire basis of the largest religion on earth, Christianity.
The idea of applying earthly logic to these supposed supernatural events allows
readers to consider the events described in the Gospels dispassionately and draw
their own conclusions.”
• “Albert Seidel has raised issues in this treatise that threaten to shake
the very foundations of Christianity.”
• “The Secret Code of the Gospels is an absolutely fascinating read, whether
or not you have any foundation or interest in religious thought. The idea that the
entire foundation for modern-day Christianity could actually be the creation of
a Roman Emperor, determined to unite his disparate empire with a common cause and
a monotheistic God, is earth-shattering.”
• “This book presents a compelling rationale to help us understand what may
have happened in Judea all those years ago. All thinking and rational people will
gain a lot from this book, and I highly recommend it.”
★★★★★ Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers’ Favorite:
• “Albert Seidel’s book, The Secret Code of the Gospels: The Earthly Story,
is an intriguing dissertation that offers an alternative, comprehensive guide to
the study of the Gospels.”
• “This is an intuitive, alternative
look at the Gospels and how one should read and understand them.”
• “This is an intuitive, alternative look at the Gospels and how one should read and understand them. Overall, I found it to be an interesting read.”
