- Manfred Barthel wurde am 24. Februar 1924 in Chemnitz geboren.
Der deutsche Nachkriegsfilm verdankte Manfred Barthel entscheidende Impulse als Drehbuchautor und Produzent. Er lebte als mitgereister Kulturhistoriker, Altertumsforscher und Reisejournalist in Bayern und an der Algarve in Portugal. Als Reisejournalist hat er seine Kenntnisse über die Antike im Mittelmeerraum vor Ort geprüft und in mehreren Büchern veröffentlicht. Sein Buch „Was wirklich in der Bibel steht“ wurde in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt. Das Buch „Das Paradies hat 18 Löcher“ ist aus seiner Liebe zum Golf entstanden.

Barthel's interpretation is in the "We don't really believe all this stuff, but isn't it great literature?" tradition of Biblical criticism.
"Both John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were said in their turn to have been 'tools of the Jesuits,' but the most preposterous accusation that I have encountered was made by a certain Edmond Paris in his book THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE JESUITS, namely that MEIN KAMPF was written not by Adolf Hitler but by a Jesuit by the name of Stampfle. Mr Paris does at least make one thing very clear--that he himself never actually got around to reading Herr Hitler's impenetrable masterwork. But show more behind such lurid and ridiculous accusations as these lurks the more conventional image of the sinister scheming Jesuit that has been instantly conjured up by such phrases as 'faithful unto death,' fanatically loyal to the Pope, and most sinister of all, 'the end justifies the means.' How much truth is there, if any, to this 400 year old stereotype? Were the activities of the Jesuits a spur or a hindrance to spiritual awakening both within the Church and outside it? How much influence did the Order actually have on European political life? This book will try to provide the answers to these purely historical questions, and also to examine the situation of the Order in the world of today and its prospects for the future."--From the Forward show less
This book is a history of the Society of Jesus of the Roman Catholic Church commonly known as the Jesuits. The book is short, easy to read and scholarly. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the Jesuits and/or a history of the world in the age of exploration and beyond.
