These sayings and annotations will give us a fresh understanding of the teachings of Jesus and reflect the diversity of early Christianity. Some sayings are taken from later Jewish and Islamic tradition, as well as from Greek and Egyptian collections. Readers will find that many of the sayings are of equal value to those found in the canonical gospels or in the Gospel of Thomas, but they are even more striking because of their unfamiliarity. Meet Jesus as a spiritual teacher who taught using the ancient form of proverbs, parables, and pithy aphorisms. See what he had to say for himself.
