Synopsis
One of the more provocative developments in recent scholarly activity involving the New Testament is provided by the Jesus Seminar, an ongoing think-tank of distinguished biblical scholars, historians, exegetes, and other experts engaged by contemporary debates over the historical Jesus. Working from the group's own translations of the original Greek and Coptic texts, the Seminar's first book summarizes its critical assessment of the authenticity of the 1,500 sayings of Jesus found in the four canonical gospels as well as "The Gospel of Thomas", an equally ancient text found in 1945.

Publisher's Note
For the first time in paperback--this controversial bestseller contains remarkable findings about the historical Jesus and asserts that no more than 20 percent of the sayings attributed to Jesus in the New Testament where actually spoken by him....Filled with illuminating and fascinating commentary, this is a major work of biblical scholarship that both confronts the literalism of fundamentalists and gives new dimension and life to our understanding of Jesus and his message.

Industry Reviews
"A probing, penetrating, and deeply spiritual journey into the heart of the gospels. It brings to the reading public many of the issues that are commonplace among Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish scholars, and might well become the means whereby the secularized post-Christian world discovers its own deepest roots."
John Shelby Spong

"A bold and fascinating project....Its editors are willing to take stands on the difficulty question "What did Jesus really say?"
publisher catalogue - Elaine Pagels
