The Gospel of the Holy Twelve is a religious text written by S. G. J. Ouseley. It is a collection of teachings and sayings attributed to Jesus Christ, as well as stories about his life and teachings. The book is based on a manuscript that Ouseley discovered in 1870, which he believed to be a translation of an ancient gospel written in Aramaic. The text is divided into 144 chapters, each of which contains a lesson or parable. The Gospel of the Holy Twelve emphasizes the importance of compassion, nonviolence, and the unity of all living beings. It also includes teachings on vegetarianism, reincarnation, and the nature of the soul. The book has been controversial among some Christians, who dispute its authenticity and criticize its departure from traditional Christian doctrine. However, it has also gained a following among those who are drawn to its message of peace and love.1923. The Rev. G.J. Ouseley was a priest, first in the Established Church of Ireland, and afterwards in the Catholic Apostolic Church. The Gospel was written down by him after he had received it in numerous fragments at different times from Emmanuel Swedenborg (who was seen by trustworthy clairvoyants and afterwards identified from a portrait shown to them), Anna Kingsford, Edward Maitland, and a priest of a former century giving his name as Placidus of the Franciscan Order, afterwards a Carmelite. The unseen communicators wished to reinstall passages that insist on the obvious, though often lamentably neglected, duty of love and protection for animals, relate a number of instances of the personal interference of the Lord of Love to save animals from ill-treatment and teach against the eating of flesh and taking of strong drink.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
