Why read it?
1 author picked The Lost Art of Resurrection as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Silva includes the gnostic teachings practiced by the Cathars, who claimed the literal resurrection of Jesus was a lie, and were persecuted by the Church to suppress such gospel teachings by Mary Magdalene and Phillip.
From Karen's list on writing about death, religion, and spirituality.
