Description

Featuring a new translation of what the author refers to as "the essential gospel", this study examines the real man behind the New Testament's image of Jesus. It retains only the authentic sayings of Jesus, eliminating passages which were added by the early Christian church. What is left is a provocative portrait of Jesus as a real person and a great spiritual teacher. The text is preceded by a long meditation on Jesus's life and teachings, and is followed by the author's detailed commentary.
