Jesus's words of wisdom can become a companion on your own
spiritual journey. The gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are
not the only record we have of the words spoken by Jesus. Designed
to challenge, enlighten and inspire, they are also quoted in a wide
variety of other ancient sources—including the Qur’an, writings
by early Christian church fathers, and fragments of lost gospels
only recently discovered. Some of these sayings are familiar; many
are surprising; all expand our conventional understanding of the
scope and essence of Jesus’s original teachings. More than a
"Christian" compilation, this collection of more than three hundred
sayings reveals a Jesus whose words encapsulate spiritual truths
that resonate across religious boundaries. From the encouraging
“I am hope for the hopeless,” to the wise and practical “Love
those who hate you and you will not have an enemy,” to the candid
“Give no opportunity to the evil one,” these pointed sayings
not only reveal how Jesus was understood and portrayed across a
wide variety of cultures long ago—they will also penetrate to
your heart, challenge your assumptions, and energize your own
spiritual quest. Now you can experience the wisdom and power of
Jesus’s sayings even if you have no previous knowledge of these
little-known texts.
Derived from the Greek word for "knowledge" or "insight", a Gnostic is one who seeks direct experience of Divinity. Refuting the notion that no coherent set of Gnostic beliefs exists, this introduction reveals Gnosticism as the indigenous mystical tradition of the West and considers its message to Judeo-Christianity in the 21st century.
Gnosticism like mysticism pursues the inner way; its authority is
not external but internal-a living personal experience-but without
denying the outer world. Under the guise of Basilides, a
second-century AD Gnostic sage, Jung wrote in 1916 the Seven
Sermons to the Dead after he had received intense psychic
experiences.The author has made his own translation of the sermons
and sets forth a lengthy explanation and far-ranging commentary on
Jung, Gnosticism, and the present condition of the Western
individual. ---Choice Review
