Overview

If we could travel back to the world of ancient Palestine and hear Jesus teach in his own native tongue, what would we learn? On The Hidden Gospel, you will join Neil Douglas-Klotz, the brilliant translator and bestselling author of Prayers of the Cosmos, as he delves into early New Testament scriptures written in Aramaic – the original language of Jesus and his followers. Overlooked for centuries by all but a small minority of the world’s Christians, these sacred texts rejuvenate the teachings of Jesus with an original subtlety and richness of meaning found in no other translation. Neil Douglas-Klotz draws us deeply into these passages of the Gospels – including the Beatitudes and the Lord’s Prayer – and then adds to his passionate scholarship by teaching us a series of body-centered meditations for interpreting and reflecting on these sacred words in much the same way as the early Christians did. What lies hidden within these scriptures may surprise many: a visionary Christ who transcends the narrow and the dogmatic to offer us a grand cosmology based on the earthy wisdom of an ancient desert people.
