Hundreds of sayings were attributed to the sage from Nazareth by ancient admirers. More than fifteen hundred versions of five hundred quotations are attributed to Jesus in the New Testament, the Gospel of Thomas, and other Gospels found at Nag Hammadi. Marvin Meyer has combed additional Jewish, Muslim, and Christian sources for another 200 of the most fascinating epigrams and parables ascribed to Jesus. Dr. Meyer includes an intriguing introduction and annotations that put the sayings into perspective.

Praise for The Unknown Sayings of Jesus

"Since the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas, Marvin Meyer's exciting THE UNKNOWN SAYINGS OF JESUS is the major revelation of Yeshua's diverse extracanonical voices - here presented in invisibly deep scholarship and elegantly simple English to give us a spiritual page-turner." - Willis Barnstone, editor of The Other Bible

"A most valuable and fascinating book indeed. It gives us insight not only into what Jesus - peace be upon him - said or might have said, but also into the ways he was admired in different cultures and times." - Muzzammil H. Siddiqi, president of the Islamic Society of North America and adjunct professor of Islamic Studies and World Religions, California State University, Fullerton
