If you could travel back to the world of ancient Palestine and hear Jesus teach in his own native tongue, what would you learn? Join Neil Douglas-Klotz, the brilliant translator and best selling author of Prayers of the Cosmos, as he delves into early New Testament scriptures written in Aramaic - the original language of Jesus and his followers. Overlooked for centuries by all but a small minority of the world's Christians, these sacred texts rejuvenate the teachings of Jesus with an original subtlety and richness of meaning found in no other translation. Douglas-Klotz draws us deeply into these passages of the Gospels - including the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer - and then adds to his passionate scholarship by teaching us a series of body-centered meditations for interpreting and reflecting on these sacred words in much the same way as the early Christians did. What lies hidden within these scriptures may surprise many: a visionary Christ who transcends the narrow and the dogmatic to offer us a grand cosmology based on the earthy wisdom of an ancient desert people.

What other book might you compare The Hidden Gospel to and why?

Which scene was your favorite?
Jesus's Beatitudes take on powerful significance when the Aramaic original is considered. My favourite is the significance of the third beatitude (
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
A particularly moving section was the chant which combines the names of GOD in Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew, representing a move to peace and tolerance in the Middle East, and the
