Lost Gospel of Q, The

The Lost Gospel Q The Original Sayings of Jesus by Marcus Borg You hold in your hands the first Gospel. Previously known only to scholars, it contains the original words of Jesus. "Read carefully this manifesto of the Kingdon of God." --John Dominic Crossan, author of Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography "I will place this beautiful, well presented book among my few primary resources from the world's religious and spiritual literature. I will treat it as one of the primary revelations of life's sacredness. It gives me a Jesus who is less shielded and packaged by later traditions, and therefore more poetic and more sublimely relevant to my own desire for a truly intelligent, deeply felt and socially responsive life of spirit." --Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul, from the Introduction "The Lost Gospel Q is of great interest and importance because it is the first Christian Gospel. Written in the 50's of the first century, only a couple of decades after the death of Jesus, it is significantly earlier than the four Gospels of the New Testament. I invite you to explore for yourself the earliest layer of the Jesus tradition." --Marcus Borg, author of Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, from the Preface.
