Hay House Publishers

As of March 2nd, Dennis Price's book is now available for purchase, either through this link to Hay House, the publishers, or through Amazon.co.uk, although currently the latter seem to be out of stock, so be sure to check back.

Here's the synopsis as it appears at Amazon...

'And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England s mountain's green
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen?'

Do William Blake's lyrics for the popular hymn Jerusalem reveal an extraordinary insight into the so-called missing years of Jesus - the 18 years that are unaccounted for in the Bible from when Jesus was a boy of 12 to his sudden reappearance at the age of 30?

Archaeologist and classical scholar Dennis Price has investigated the clues in Blake's evocative poem and has paid meticulous attention to the accounts in the ancient Aramaic and Greek versions of the Bible, and he's also conducted an exhaustive and unprecedented study into the myths and legends of Christ in Britain. With the assistance of specialists in their own fields and by viewing this enthralling subject as a modern missing person's investigation, Dennis Price has pieced together the various pieces of the jigsaw and now presents compelling and highly original evidence that Christ did indeed visit Britain in the company of Joseph of Arimathea in ancient times .

The weight of new material suggests that Christ remained in Britain for several years before eventually returning to his homeland in the east, and this truly extraordinary book now provides a wealth of new information for all those who are intensely curious about this otherwise undocumented period in the life of the most famous person the world's ever known. The implications are astonishing and they are presented here, in the greatest story never told.

And in case your next question is "Dennis Price - who he?", here's a brief word on his own life and times...

An archaeologist, writer and performer, Dennis Price is an expert on Stonehenge, with a particular interest in the ancient myths, legends and historical accounts of these enigmatic ruins.

He was the last archaeologist to set foot inside Silbury Hill, Britain's only pyramid, before work began to seal it off forever, while he's collaborated with specialists and experts in their field the world over in an attempt to uncover the real history of these monuments that continue to captivate people the world over, thousands of years after they were first built. He currently lives in Devon, in the south of England, with his wife, two children and black dog.

I imagine the book will also be available in UK book-stores, though I'm not sure when the book is due for release in the US - in the meantime, here's some more info from the author's website, Eternal Idol.
