And I really hope you enjoy reading my book, regardless of whether or not you agree with my conclusions.

Best wishes from

Dennis

Frank said something in his review about how obvious it all was and how he couldn’t believe he’d not noticed the various pointers before. Ever since I announced that my book was coming out, I said that all the information had come from sources other than apocryphal gospels and the astral planes, and that I wasn’t privy to any treasures hidden away in Vatican archives or the like.

At the risk of losing out on one copy or more being sold, then I suggest that you don’t really need to read my book if you want to work it all out for yourself and you’ve made a very pertinent point here. There’s no doubt that Christianity was established in Britain at a very early date, so as you rightly observe, how could presumably just a few missionaries and/or refugees from foreign parts have accomplished such a thing in the face of opposition from the Druids? The same apparently ungodly and ferrocious Druids against whom the Romans waged a well-documented war of annihilation?

It’s all “out there” if you or anyone else cares to look for it, but thank you for your kind words, as they are greatly appreciated.

Frank says
“I feel enormously proud to think that this amazing man probably met with our direct ancestors when they were in their prime as a free and courageous people (who had twice defeated the legions of the hated Caesar), and that the young Jesus was readily given hospitality, friendship and sanctuary from the threat he faced from the Romans occupying his homeland when he was a stranger and a guest in our green and pleasant land”.

From what I have read it seems more than plausible Christianity was established in Britain early in the first century AD with the willing aid of the Druids. If they had opposed it then could a few missionaries been able to establish anything?

A personal theory I have pursued (following Dennis introducing his book) is that if Mary Magadalene was Jesus’s wife then she may have been a Celt. I have not been able to find anything to support this idea apart from a reference to a “Druid Princess” but this was not backed up with any information about the source for the claim. Perhaps a theory built on another theory is a more than a step too far.

With a review like this, coming from a man with his heart in the right place, I’m sure we – not to mention the rest of the world – are in for a treat.
I feel like saying, “It’s all I need to know.”

Put the champagne on ice Dennis … and get the suitcase packed! Looks like you’re going to be a busy man.

When I first heard of Dennis’s book, it was apparent to me that it would tap straight into some deeply held values and instincts of English people in particular, but people all round the world, too. Frank’s review confirms that feeling. I feel confident that this will be a much-talked about book, and the publishing sensation of 2009. I guess we’re privileged here on EI to have been in at the birth!
