The Lost Sayings of Jesus: Teachings from Ancient Christian, Jewish, Gnostic and Islamic Sources

Meer over het boek

Exploring the teachings of Jesus through a collection of lesser-known sayings and annotations reveals a fresh perspective on early Christianity's diversity. This compilation includes insights from later Jewish and Islamic traditions, alongside Greek and Egyptian sources. The unfamiliarity of these sayings offers a striking contrast to canonical gospels and the Gospel of Thomas. Readers will encounter Jesus as a spiritual teacher who employed proverbs, parables, and aphorisms, providing a deeper understanding of his messages.
