The Gospel of Simon: Revelation of the Sacred Mysteries

The Gospel of Simon: Revelation of the Sacred Mysteries is a book by Christopher Carpenter published in 2016. The book presents the allegedly fictional Gospel of Simon, which follows the ministry of Jesus in the synoptic tradition. The most controversial theme of the book is that Jesus and his disciples used an entheogen, referred to as the Holy Soma, as a sacrament.
The book also asserts that Mary Magdalene was the beloved disciple; James, the brother of Jesus, was the chosen successor of Jesus, not Simon Peter; Judas acted in accordance with the plan of Jesus; and other assertions.
The book is footnoted and referenced to numerous authoritative sources used to reach the various conclusions, including a documented bibliography.
