Brian Muraresku, New York Times Best Selling author of The Immortality Key: the Secret History of the Religion with No Name. Alumnus of Brown University and Georgetown Law. "The Immortality Key is an astonishing and remarkable book that explores the mysterious links between psychedelic drugs, human consciousness, and the origins of Christianity. It presents truly ground-breaking research on many levels, tracing the use of psychedelic drugs from Ancient Greece through Rome and into the early days of Christianity, where they played a role—possibly a crucial one—in the new religion of Jesus Christ. This is a fascinating book, which I highly recommend." — Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God
