Yet, he admits, many fine books, including the Bible and Homer, take social inequality for granted.

The Gnostic Notebook: Volume One: On Memory Systems and Fairy Tales
by Timothy James LambertAn ancient Latin text, the Ad Herennium, lays down instructions for building effective Memory Systems. These instructions just happen to mirror one of the central images of Christianity as found in the Gospels. Were the Gospels constructed to act as a type of literary memory system? Could it be that the authors were actually adepts at the Art of Memory? Perhaps the tri-fold nature of the Synoptic Gospels is not a historical accident, but is actually a method of encrypting the data contained with... more
