Did Jesus Come to Britain?: An Investigation into the Traditions that Christ Visited Cornwall and Somerset - Softcover
The many traditions and legends of Jesus’ travels to Britain are deeply impressed into English culture, owing especially to famous allusion by William Blake. These tales tell that, while still a boy, Jesus accompanied his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea―an importer/exporter of metals―on expeditions to Cornwall to engage in the tin trade. Later, it is said that Jesus made additional trips to visit the location of the Druid school of learning, Glastonbury. Though charming and romantic, do such stories have any historical foundation?
Using the work of fellow researchers as his starting point, Lewis studies the locations that Jesus supposedly visited―from Cornwall to Somerset―producing striking evidence combined with his fine photography, along with useful maps. Lewis’s combines original research with broad and insightful analysis of the existing material, making a convincing case for Jesus indeed having walked “upon England’s mountains green.”

About the Author:
Glyn Lewis was born in Shropshire, UK. Since 1991, he has worked as a photographic essayist, first in Hong Kong, where he recorded the plight of people living on the streets and in crowded public lodging; in the UK, producing photographic essays on the Ministry of Agricultural Chaplains to the farming community; on the work of Park Attwood Clinic, and the role of various therapies in aiding healing processes; and on the religious order of the Poor Clares. His photographic essay, "The Gospel, Told in Photographs and Words," has been exhibited in the cathedrals of Wells, Exeter, and Chichester.
Review:
“And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England’s mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God on England’s pleasant pastures seen?” ―William Blake

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen?'- William Blake. The many traditions and legends of Jesus' travels to Britain are deeply impressed into our culture, thanks particularly to the famous allusion by William Blake. These tales tell that, while still a boy, Jesus accompanied his uncle Joseph of Arimathea - an importer of metals - on expeditions to Cornwall to engage in the tin trade. Later, it is said, Jesus made additional trips in which he visited the location of the Druid's school of learning, Glastonbury.These are charming and romantic stories, but do they have any historical foundation. Using the work of fellow researchers as his starting point, Glyn Lewis studies the locations that Jesus is said to have visited - from Cornwall to Somerset - and produces some striking evidence, presented here in combination with his own fine photography and some useful maps. Lewis' original research is combined with broad and insightful analysis of the exisiting material, making a convincing case for Jesus indeed having walked 'upon England's mountains green'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001557988
