<<<http://www.thenazareneway.com/index_essene_gospels_of_peace.htm>>> There's the word I was trying to think of... esseses. I read a book many years ago about the travelings of Jesus after he left home and before he started preaching in Israel. The book said he spent the time studying with the Essenes. I was interested very much in this and tried one time to discuss it with an Episcopalian minister. I couldn't get anything about it out of him. Either he didn't know or didn't want to talk about it. It was one of his days off so that was his prerogative I guess. I forget exactly what the book said the Essenes were for sure but I think they were said to be a spin off from the jews who had been kicked out of the Jewish faith. Others think he spent the time studying other things like Buddhism and religion in Egypt and some kind of witchcraft (or the equivalent of it from those days.) I just wonder how many Christians would say "yes Jesus was a jew and yes he was a holy man but would deny that he was a Rabbi.
