My favorite Christian scripture is not to be found in the present-day canon but was considered to be scripture in the Saint Thomas branch of eastern Christianity, the Syriac tradition of the first few centuries A.D. It's a collection of psalms known as the Book of the Odes: https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/odes.html

I have some background info on this. See,, An Introduction to, The Odes of Solomon, Christianity’s Greatest Scripture: https://medium.com/sant-mat-meditation-and-spirituality/an-introduction-to-the-odes-of-solomon-christianitys-greatest-scripture-by-james-bean-953387b4bfb4

An Introduction to, The Odes of Solomon, Christianity’s Greatest Scripture, by James Bean

Was working on a new write-up for a podcast description, taking an older Youtube program from 2017 I have in my archives and now uploading it to all the podcast sites. As it turns out, this write-up serves as a rare introduction to this important scripture, and provides some insight into when it was composed and the reason for it being a misnamed text. For the Odes of Solomon have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Solomon, but is a collection of psalms from the earliest days of the Jesus movement (Nasoreans, Ebionites). I prefer calling it ‘The Book of the Odes’ in an attempt to give this text a more accurate name, but most know of it as “Odes of Solomon”, the name that’s stuck and little can probably ever be done to change this.

For me the Odes, as well as another collection of mystic poems called, Metaphysical Meditations, by Paramahansa Yogananda, during my formative years as a spiritual seeker proved to be quite influential. They also gave me a preview of the type of literature I would eventually be introduced to: the Adi Granth (Sikh Scriptures) and various collections of bhakti mystic poetry of the Sants of India: Kabir, Dadu, Namdev, Paltu, Tulsi Sahib, Soamiji Maharaj, and many others.

I know a thousand Rumis the world needs to hear,

to be soothed by the Voice of the Soul

that speaks through them all.

Odes of Solomon, Lost Psalms of Early Christianity Discovered

Out of all the apocryphal writings I’ve collected, I think the Odes of Solomon is the most beautiful, inspiring and inspired, the greatest scripture of the Jesus movement. It is the would-be book of New Testament psalms! The Book of the Odes has been described as the first known hymn-book of early Christianity. They have nothing to do with “Solomon” but somewhere-along-the-way got mislabeled and assigned to the genre of Old Testament Apocrypha as the Odes represent one of the earliest of Christian documents near the beginning of the Jesus movement within Judaism and so composed before a time when there were many Jewish or Christian writings associated with a “new” covenant, and long before the concept of a New Testament canon or collection of scriptures was conceived of. Thus, this collection of psalms was named in a way that’s reminiscent of how some scriptures were assigned names during the time of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the pseudepigraphical literature. This indicates a very early date of composition.

The Odes of Solomon consist of 41 psalms. The Odes are believed to have originated in either Antioch or Edessa in Syriac-Aramaic most likely during the First Century AD.

One scholar (James Charlesworth) said of the Odes, “Here are some of the most beautiful songs of peace and joy that the world possesses.”

The New Testament scholar Bentley Layton says that the Odes were considered to be inspired scripture and were chanted by Christians who lived in Syria and all around Mesopotamia about 2,000 years ago.

J. Rendel Harris, the discoverer of one Syriac-Aramaic manuscript of the Odes, said the Odes were eventually included in the Sahidic Bible of Egypt.

These ecstatic hymns remind me of Rumi or Sufi love poetry in the tradition of “the lover and the Beloved.” They also remind me of the Sikh scriptures (Adi Granth) and mystic poetry of the Sants. Many have adopted the practice of contemplating verses of the Odes and report being brought to a deeper level of devotion (bhakti); being caught up in a love-affair with God, the Ocean of Love. That’s also been my experience.

ODE 12: Through the Word (Logos)… Worlds Converse!

“He filled me with words of truth that I may speak the same. Like the flow of waters truth flows from my mouth, and my lips reveal its harvest, and it gives me the gold of knowledge for the mouth of the Lord is the true Word and the Door of His Light. And the Highest One gave the Word to His worlds, which interpret His own beauty, recite His praise, confess His thought, are heralds of His mind, are instructors of His works. For the swiftness of the Word is ineffable and like His statement are Its swiftness and sharpness. Its course knows no end, It never fails, it stands. Its descent and Its way are incomprehensible. Like His work is Its end for It is the Light and the dawn of thought, and through It worlds converse… The mouth of the Highest One spoke to them and he was made clear by His Word. The dwelling place of the Word is man and Its truth is love.”

(The Odes of Solomon, Willis Barnstone, “The Other Bible” Harper Collins)

The difference between conventional religion and the way of the mystics? Not content with the idea of putting off the spiritual life till some future age at the end of time or in another life, mystics seek to experience God now. ////////

BOOK REVIEW: JUST BACKDATED by Chris Charlesworth (2024)

Melody Maker debuted January 1926, and its 36 pages were mostly dedicated to the (then) big band sound and jazz scene. For many decades it left all the rock & roll shenanigans to it's greatest ENEMY, the NME.

By the 1970's, things were much different. Prog rock (fading) and Punk (rising) had elbowed Trad jazz out of the way. By the decades end, if it was old, grey and whistled, this music paper was no longer interested - INSTEAD - fully embracing the pretenders of the New Wave. After all, it was MM journalist, Michael Watts, who "bombed out the bailer" (BBC Radio 1's Bob Harris) in 1978.

JUST BACKDATED is from Michael Watt's colleague - staff writer/ editor, Chris Charlesworth and uncovers his SEVEN YEARS IN THE SEVENTIES at "The Maker", from humble writing beginnings in Slough onto a New York news-desk!!

By now, Chris has many music books to his name, including on David Bowie and The Who, but this latest hardback (published by Spenwood Books) is his own back catalogue; his own back pages:

"My infactuation with pop music came out of nowhere, creeping up on me from the age of ten, perhaps as a way out of the convrentional future expected of me, perhaps because it offered excitement absent from the Yorkshire market town where I was raised, perhaps, like many boys who pick up a guitar, as a way to meet girls.

All three turned out to be true."

Written in a friendly, open style, Charlesworth shares his stories, such as on Steely Dan (Can't Buy A Thrill LP being on heavy rotation in the MM offices), being photographed with the delectable Debbie Harry and receiving a personal postcard from John Lennon. Maybe Lennon's green card was always blue, as the author sagely summaries: "He was no saint, it's true, but never pretended to be either."

JUST BACKDATED is a good work, with occasional sinning.

Rating: 9/10

Odes of Solomon, Lost Psalms of Early Christianity Discovered

For the expansion of my hands is His sign.

And my extension is the upright cross.

Hallelujah.” (Ode 27)
