The Brunnen von Christus Group – Articles and Contributions

The Origins of TC Pubs

Trinity Chalice became the name for an esoteric study group that formed, between 1995 and 1997, around the book The Spiritual Event of the Twentieth Century, by Jesaiah Ben-Aharon (Temple Lodge Press, 1994), with particular focus on the role of the United States, and its Manhattan Project, in World War II. The eclectic group did not stay together long, however. After the publication of A Twentieth Century Trilogy: The Triad, Golden River, The Chalice, it was decided to at least retain and carry the name Trinity Chalice, and in 1999 TC Pubs was established as an imprint of Studio Editions for the purpose of publishing non-fiction, essay and art books. The TC Pubs logo (pictured) was also created in 1999.

It was not foreseen that the Brunnen von Christus sites would come under the TC Pubs domain, but this occurred when GeoCities announced that they would be discontinuing their hosting services. However, not only is TC Pubs an appropriate domain for Brunnen von Christus, it connects this work with the Trinity Chalice initiatives of the 1990's. The book, The Writing of the Heart, also brings forth, in new light, earlier efforts of two TC Pubs books published in 2000. This is noted in the Preface of The Writing of the Heart.

TC Pubs has also published Intuitive Meetings, Book I in 2005-06, and its complementary Book II in 2009, and still continues to offer, fully online, the book American Lives: War and the Quest, published in 2001.
