A remarkable look at Jesus as a teacher of the wisdom tradition and the transformation of consciousness.
If you put aside what you "think" you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault takes us through the historical background of wisdom writings, wisdom teachings, and Jesus's vision of transformation and the traditional contemplative practices. Paperback. 224pp
