The Jesus Book presents the life and words of Jesus of Nazareth as conveyed in the well-documented accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts. Many words in the Scriptures have taken on religious meanings through the centuries and, as a result, the actual meaning of what Jesus said has been lost or distorted. The Jesus Book removes the religious filter to more accurately convey the life and teachings of Jesus.
