What if the story of Jesus and the wonders he did on earth were not exactly as described in the Bible? What are the proofs for these claims? Secret Revelations in the Gospel of Mark by Joseph Codsi is a revolutionary book that suggests that some parts of the gospel were not described as they happened and provides backings for those claims.

The book examined the books of Mark, Matthew, John, and Luke, showing critical discrepancies in some of their accounts. The book argues that the miracle of feeding five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish did not happen as described. It also argues the parables and the last supper as recounted by Mark. The book suggested that the account of the death and resurrection of Jesus was inaccurate and a false representation of the actual events with proofs to back up the claim. It also examines Paul’s role in the proliferation of Christianity as we know it now. Readers were invited to examine the proofs carefully and make their own assertions.

It was a very nice read. The book was carefully written, with each detail and layer of evidence beautifully presented. I loved the historical evidence of events displayed in the book and the footnotes that provided in-depth explanations of things written in the book. I also loved how different passages from different books of the gospel were juxtaposed and how the proofs were carefully extracted from the passages. This was a proof of the author’s meticulousness and attention to details, which was very beautiful to see. I enjoyed the book.

I found some dislikes about the book. I felt that some of the proofs were not solid enough to disprove the passages in the gospel. I also felt that some parts of the book were a little confusing, and I witnessed some back and forth in the stories. However, I was able to understand it later on and really enjoyed reading about the novel and stunning ideas the author had.

I rate this book four out of five stars for its excellent and nicely written work. The book was well edited, although I found a few grammatical errors while reading it. These errors, however, did not impede my reading experience in any way. I recommend this book to open-minded Christians with questions about the authenticity of the gospel books and the documentaries about Jesus’ walk on earth. This book will interest you.

---

**Title:** *Secret Revelations in the Gospel of Mark* by Joseph Codsi
**Rating:** 4 out of 5 stars

**Summary:**
Joseph Codsi’s *Secret Revelations in the Gospel of Mark* explores potential discrepancies in the biblical accounts of Jesus' life, arguing that some gospel events, including the feeding of the five thousand and the death and resurrection of Jesus, may not be as described. Codsi examines the gospels of Mark, Matthew, John, and Luke, presenting evidence to support these claims and discussing Paul’s influence on Christianity. The book is praised for its detailed and well-presented evidence, historical context, and comparative analysis of gospel passages. However, some arguments are seen as less convincing, and the book occasionally feels confusing with its back-and-forth storytelling. Despite minor grammatical errors, it is recommended for open-minded readers interested in biblical authenticity.

What if the gospel of Jesus, the son of God dating back to several thousands of years ago along with all the miracles he performed on the earth was not in literal cognizance as stated in the scriptures? What are proofs for these accusations? Joseph Codsi's Secret Revelations in the Gospel of Mark is a sobering book as it suggests that some section of the gospel is not gospel, and what’s more, actually presents evidence substantiating these arguments even though it shouldn't be normal.

The book understudied and studied the gospels of Mark and Matthew, John and Luke and brought out some differences and discrepancies amongst some of the gospels. The book contends that the Buddhist gospels of feeding five thousand people with five pieces of-bread and two fishes cannot be taken in the literal sense. It also argues the parables and the last supper as told by Mark. The author argued that the story on the death and resurrection of Jesus as presented in the synoptic gospels was exaggerated and did not represent the historical reality with evidence to support the argument. It also tries to address how evangelicals and Paulinists changed the Christianity that was received by the apostles. The readers were invited to look on the proofs and to formulate their own summary conclusions.

Such a reading was worth my time. The book is well-researched, and it is evident that months were devoted to the perfection of each worth, every layer of the evidence being part of the artwork. Events chronicled in the book, especially the historical precursors represented so impressively, footnotes that answering many things. I was also struck by how different passages from different gospels were

The book titled “Secret Revelations in the Gospel of Mark” by Joseph Codsi offers a thought-provoking reevaluation of biblical accounts, suggesting inconsistencies in the gospels' narratives. The book presents detailed evidence and analysis that challenges traditional interpretations of key events in Jesus's life. It's a compelling read for those interested in critical biblical studies and historical accuracy. I recommend this book to open-minded readers interested in biblical scholarship, historical analysis of religious texts, and those questioning the authenticity of traditional gospel accounts.
