Jesus was a street preacher who taught through story and aphorism. Antedating the Gospels, these 105 sayings were recorded by his followers during and shortly after his lifetime. Through the immediacy of direct quotation, Davenport and Urrutias bold translation shakes our preconceptions, reintroducing us to the living teacher whose powerful words ring anew.
