The Wisdom Jesus

If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault is a masterful guide to Jesus's vision and to the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.

Cynthia Bourgeault, Ph.D., is an Episcopal priest, a medievalist, and a musicologist, who has been chanting the psalms for more than thirty years. She is the author of several books, including Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening and Love Is Stronger Than Death.
