Summary

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.

Author Biography

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.
