This book is the product of a lifetime of questioning and probing
the language and concepts of the Christian New Testament. It
explores one of the most neglected parts of the mission and message
of Jesus. He devoted most of his teaching to the creation of new
life in persons. But, we seldom spend that much of our time trying
to discover how he went about doing so. We will probe this new life
idea and attempt to construct a model from the ideas taught and
revealed by Jesus. We want to be able to understand and identify
what kind of life he brought. We want to know how to find this life
for ourselves. Keys to these understandings are specific words
Jesus used in his message. In many cases, the English words
selected by translators to be used to translate the original Greek
words have obscured some of the meaning we are seeking. We will
search for meaning and find words to convey those meanings. You are
going to be inspired by what we have discovered. Jesus actually
said many things that we have not understood. The New Testament
story is filled with simple, understandable teachings about how to
find and experience an overflowing life. Historically, many of
these teachings have been understood in theological terms rather
than life related ones. Well intentioned theologians have
translated the Greek text into English from their theological
viewpoints rather than from the vantage of the person on the
street. Jesus was constantly speaking to the people in the streets.
He did so with the language they understood, without theological or
philosophical overtones. He was all about life and it's living.
