Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of sayings attributed to Jesus Christ but not found in the four canonical Gospels. The author meticulously compiles these "Agrapha," exploring their sources, historical context, and potential authenticity. By examining early Christian writings, including the Gospels of the Hebrews, Egyptians, and Ebionites, as well as texts by Church Fathers, the author uncovers sayings that offer fresh perspectives on Jesus' teachings and the development of early Christianity. The book not only examines these sayings but also considers their potential relevance to our understanding of the canonical Gospels and the complex historical processes that shaped them. This book is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the early Christian world and the enduring power of Jesus' words. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Includes, for example, the following: The Desert and the Nile Valley / Mena House/ Inside the Great Pyramid / The Cemetry at Memphis / The Bazaars in Cairo / Christian and Mohammedan Observances / The Sphinx by Moonlight / Snipe-shooting in Egypt / etc. The book is divided into two parts: The first part deals primarily with describing Egypt as a tourist destination - the sights, scenes and peoples encountered; the second part of the book offers "Hints to Invalids. Suggestions to Medical Men." In this latter section, based upon a paper read before the British Medical Council in 1894, the benefits of Egypt's varied climate are offered as a cure for diseases "when every other form of treatment has failed." All forms of "chest disease where rest is desirale," chronic bronchitis, chronic rheumatism and cases of "renal diseases and sufferers of gravel" would be ameliorated by the Egyptian winter. But, "advanced heart disease or advanced organic disease of any organ (excepting cases of chronic and extensive lung consolidation, tubercular or otherwise, which can be greatly benefitted)," all forms of skin disease, "insomnia, except when arising from worry or excessive brain work," and "some forms of neurosis, and hypochondriacs with a melancholy tendency" are deemed unsuited for the Egyptian cure. However "the drawbacks to a winter sojourn in Egypt, and, in fact anywhere out of England" were not to be ignored- the "distance from home" being among them. The book, written when it was, and in the manner it was, gives the modern reader a glimpse into the lives and sensibilites of the upper section of the Victorian society that had the option and ability to find themselves "Wintering in Egypt." A chapter given over to the luxurious Mena House in Cairo is illustrative of the type of lifestyle and standards of comfort that book is aimed at. 'It is pleasant as one passes through the garden of "the precincts" to smell the delightful fragrance of the mignonette which even in the depth of winter is in full bloom. There are many other buildings at Mena which are worth seeing. The swimming bath and the dark photographing room are perhaps the most useful of these. There are arrangments for tennis, croquet, archery and golf; while opportunities for riding and driving exist on every side.' (p.32) The Mena House "Family Hotel" with 80 guest rooms was opened in 1887. Originally bulit by the Khedive Ismail Pasha, the ruler of Egypt, to host Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, Mena house - nicknamed the 'Mud Hut' - and estate grounds was owned and operated by Hugh and Ethel Locke-King. Just five years prior to the books publication the leading society figure of all European spas and resorts, from the springs of Baden to the roulette tables of Monte Carlo, visited Mena House. His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales (top) had been welcomed by His Highness the Khedive, who showed him the Pyramids. After lunch, The Egyptian Gazette reported, the party 'went over to the Mena Hotel and took coffee there. A year after 'Wintering in Egypt' was published, in the winter of 1895-1896, Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, stayed at Mena House. Throughout the 20th Century dignitaries from Winston Churchil and Richard Nixon and Holywood stars like Charlie Chaplin and Frank Sinatra enjoyed the opulent hospitality of Cairo's most prestigious hotels. The hotel served as an Allied hospital during the Great War. Am.
