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

What if you could encounter the words of Jesus on their own, lifted up from the surrounding narratives and presented in their full power and mystery? Thatâ€™s the question Phyllis Tickleâ€”one of Americaâ€™s most beloved writers on Christian spiritualityâ€”asked when she set out to write what she calls a â€œSayings gospel.â€ In The Words of Jesus Tickle has compiled and arranged all the sayings of Jesus from the first four books of the New Testament and the first chapter of the Book of Acts in a way that creates an entirely new kind of encounter with the texts. And she has accompanied those sayings with her own personal reflections and commentaries not just on the words themselves but on the One who spoke them.
