What is The Authentic Gospel of Jesus about?
In [this] book, [the author] subjects all the sayings of Jesus to ... informed scrutiny ... Aware of the limits of our knowledge but immersed in what we do have-both the "official" gospels and associated Jewish and early Christian texts - [the author] sieves through every quote ascribed to Jesus to let the reader get as close as possible to the charismatic Jewish healer and moralist who changed the world. The result is a book that creates a revolutionary and unexpected picture of Jesus - scraping aside the accretions of centuries to approach as close as we can hope to his true teaching. http://www.penguin.com.;Narratives and commands -- Controversy stories -- Words of wisdom -- Teaching in parables -- Quoting or interpreting scripture -- Prayers and related instructions -- 'Son of Man' sayings -- Sayings about the kingdom of God -- Eschatological rules of behavior -- Towards the authentic Gospel -- Epilogue: Jesus and his teaching in the light of his 'authentic' words -- Appendix: A classification of the sayings of Jesus.
