Dalla quarta di copertina:

Praise for The Words of Jesus

"I daily give thanks to God for Phyllis Tickle, whose words have long been an icon through which I have seen glimpses of divine life. I can think of no one I would rather have guide me into the words of Jesus."
—Lauren F. Winner, Duke Divinity School, author, Girl Meets God

"I'm wary of any attempt to abstract the words of Jesus from their context in the distinctive particulars of the four gospels. But Phyllis Tickle's The Words of Jesus is worth the price of admission, and more: she's given us one of the richest engagements with Scripture I've encountered in a long while."
—John Wilson, editor, Books & Culture, Christianity Today

"If I have ever read a book that invites the reader to come to really know Jesus rather than simply to read about Him, this is it. The Reflections section alone is worth the admission fee. It teaches, it muses, it reflects, it models the very grappling with the words which we must all do if we ever intend to make Jesus real in our own lives. Whatever the cost, this book is priceless."
—Joan Chittister, OSB, author and lecturer, founder, Benetvision: A Resource and Research Center for Contemporary Spirituality

"Abstracting the words of Jesus from their context in the Gospels is a perilous enterprise. Phyllis Tickle has faced that danger, and in her illuminating and at times perplexing introductory essay, she reveals with stunning openness the ways in which her latest encounter with Jesus has changed her. The Words of Jesus has something to enrage, engage, and change everyone. Listen afresh to the words of Jesus and then write your own naked essay about your encounter."
—David Neff, editor in chief and vice president, Christianity Today Media Group
