The True Sayings of Jesus: the Nazarene Paradigm

Time and the Christian Church have left us precious little of the Jewish Jesus but contrary to a popular misconception, what we do have forms a coherent philosophical whole that can be traced all the way from first century Judaism to modern Lurianic Kabbalah.

For many people this book presents a radical idea, the unique profundity of the words of the Jesus of history.

In order to understand the ‘Sayings of Jesus’ it is first necessary to see the world through his eyes. This necessitates a realistic understanding of first century Palestine and Jewish culture.

By becoming familiar with parallel Hebrew teachings it will become increasingly easy for the reader to spot the true from the false, the fable from the fact. More important than any of that, we must allow the Jesus of history to finally speak for himself.

For a Rome in love with Jewish prophecy, a Greek mystery religion stole the words of a Galilean Rabbi to create a popular Roman cult that changed the world.

After 10 years of research, author Antonio Sebastian explores the Q-Sayings hidden in the Gospels and their parallels in the Dead Sea Scrolls to find the words of the Jesus of history and trace their uniquely Jewish paradigm.

Where biblical scholars and literal translations have failed, Antonio succeeds in following the ideas and meanings of these teachings from Nazarene Judaism to modern Kabbalah.
