The Gospel of the East

Being the Teachings of Jesus Set in Parallel With Eastern Scriptures

This work collects all the statements attributed to Jesus in the four conventional gospels and the Gospel of Thomas. As in a conventional "Harmony of the Gospels" presentation, parallel statements from each gospel are set side by side. However, in this work, the statements are also organized by topic for easier study. Christians may find this an unusually useful arrangement for studying Christ's teachings.

However, students of comparative religions will find an added benefit, in that most subject areas end with related quotes from other religious traditions. The tracking down of these parallels is an ongoing process, and I would appreciate any suggested additions that you can send me.
