They were thinking a "bible version" with appeal
outside of "Christians" Monk. In occultism "Jesus" is an Avatar, an "Ascended Master", and through multiple lives(reincarnation)these people ascend up the ladder to "godhood", with this "Jesus" as the NIV says, the "capstone", the tip of a pyramid. All this is just recycled Hinduism.
I'm doing a little study on something John Hinton put me onto, the phrase "new order" being found in several versions.
