Christianity gets more attention in the Knowledge Seekers Workshops (KSW) than any other tradition. Mehran Tavakoli Keshe returns to it in two registers. The first is a reinterpretation of its central events. In his account the crucifixion is a self-judgment,…

Keshe grew up in Iran. In his own telling he attended a Tehran school where Zoroastrian, Muslim, Christian, Bahá’í and Jewish pupils shared one classroom, and he describes a family background that is both Jewish and Muslim. His statements about…
