THE HIDDEN GOSPEL is Dr. Douglas-Klotz's presentation of what he considers to be the overlooked aspect of the Gospels, namely the Aramaic writings of the early Church. Aramaic was the spoken language of Jesus's day. In presenting his translations of these Early Church writings, the author discusses a mystical aspect of the Gospels that seems to harken back to the Gnostic controversy. Reading his own work in a pleasing tone, Douglas-Klotz offers not merely a lecture; approximately twenty minutes into each side an exercise is included that teaches the listener an Aramaic prayer.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Hidden Gospel: Decoding the Spiritual Message of the Aramaic Jesus (Hardcover)
Scholar and spiritual teacher Neil Douglas-Klotz does a superb job of opening the readers' eyes to see The Hidden Gospel in plain view. Jesus, a Jewish mystic and prophet, has been misunderstood over the centuries by the imposition of layers of Christian dogma and doctrine over his essential message/Truth. Discover that "pray in my name" literally means "pray in/with the same atmosphere and vibration" that you experience with me...NOT that Jesus intended that his literal name would ever be the focus for prayer, not that Jesus intended institutionalization of a new church focusing upon himself. Jesus offered a living path of direct experience of Divine Mystery. Regardless of spiritual background, this book offers a drink from a deep well to those who are thirsty for a enlivened faith in today's world.
