The Verbal Truth of Christianity

In "The Verbal Truth of Christianity," author Arthur Telling delves into the complex and often overlooked messages within Christianity, particularly the heretical teachings attributed to Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas. Through a structured exploration across six chapters, the book examines the nature of life, the true essence of God, and the teachings of Jesus that the Church has both embraced and rejected. Telling argues for a deeper understanding of eternal life, contending that it involves effort, contemplation, and a reevaluation of the harmonious threads connecting various religions and philosophies. Ultimately, the work aims to reveal a unified message that illuminates our purpose in the world and beyond.
