Over 100 direct quotes and verses from Christ. Each is paired with contextual notes and original-language insights, clarifying meanings that have been altered, diluted, or mistranslated during the centuries since they were first written down in Greek.
Many core words—like “repent”—were translated in ways that shifted the meaning (e.g., from “transform your mind” to “feel remorse” or perform “external acts of penance”). The book seeks to restore these original intentions to give a clear sense of Christ’s actual teachings.
Its focus is not on theology or denominational interpretation, but on the unifying essence of Christ’s words, accessible regardless of religious background, expounding his message of Oneness and inner transformation to gain clarity towards that Oneness (a Oneness he unmistakably prays for 6 times in the prayer the night before his death during the Last Supper for example).
