The Words of Jesus: A Gospel of the Sayings of Our Lord with Reflections: A Gospel of the Sayings of Our Lord with Reflections by Phyllis Tickle - Tapa blanda

PRAISE FOR The Words of Jesus

"Harsh. Testy. Uncompromising. These aren't words typically associated with Jesus, but Christian scholar Phyllis Tickle, a former religion editor of Publishers Weekly, says they often came to mind as she wrote her new book, The Words of Jesus. . . . Jesus was anxious to be understood. He asked Philip, an apostle, 'Have I been so long a time among you ...and still you do not know me?' It's a question that Tickle's book helps us answer today." —Newsweek

"Thoughtful reflection. . . . Highly recommended."
—Library Journal

"These sayings of Jesus will be a valuable tool to Christians looking for new ways to study and assimilate His core teachings and character."
—Publishers Weekly

"I'm wary of any attempt to abstract the words of Jesus from their context in the distinctive particulars of the four gospels. But Phyllis Tickle's The Words of Jesus is worth the price of admission, and more: she's given us one of the richest engagements with Scripture I've encountered in a long while."
