This is a marvelous little book for the true seeker. Not for the Bible thumping Jesus freak though. Richard Hooper gives a solid introduction to what wisdom teachers really taught complete with historical context and comparative religions. A great read for those wont settle for less than the truth.

As a Christian, I was slightly disappointed that most of the Jesus quotes are not from the Bible itself but from literature from Gnostic Christianity. If you are looking for the similarities between traditional Christianity and the other spiritual traditions, you might not find as much material as you would like.Nonetheless, it is beautiful to have a book that emphasises similarities between these four different spiritual traditions. And I was glad to be educated about the existence of such a wealth of literature about Jesus, much of which I was unaware.This is a wonderful book either to dip into or to read cover to cover. The narrative start to each chapter introduces the theme along with a sharing of aspects of the author’s personal journey. This puts the quotes in a context which raises this to be much more than a book of quotes.The author says this is a book he has wanted to write since he recognised the connection between Gnostic Christianity and Eastern philosophy, and it does indeed feel like a labour of love.There is no question as to the author’s depth of knowledge of these different traditions which has allowed him to put this body of work together. To avoid copyright issues, he consulted many different translations of the text and then reworked them to ensure that his wording adhered to the meaning of the saying.

I loved the way this book drew together quotes from a wide range of sources on different aspects of spirituality. Hearing the words of leaders from different times and traditions all echoing similar truths was very inspiring. It will be a book I revisit often I think.

Really terrific book. The historical side is presented very concisely but with great effect.
