Book Description
Excerpt from The Unwritten Sayings of Christ: Words of Our Lord Not Recorded in the Four Gospels Including Those Recently Discovered; With Notes The title of this short work may need a word of explanation. "The Unwritten Sayings of Christ" must be taken to mean "the Sayings of Christ" written, it is true, in various Christian writings, but not written in the Four Canonical Gospels, which are the official record of the life and teaching of the Lord. The "Agrapha," or "Sayings of Christ unrecorded in the Gospels," are, it is to be regretted, by no means widely known, and to many they are almost a sealed book. The endeavour in these pages has been to collect these "Sayings" together, including those which the latest research has brought to light; to give the authorities on which they lay claim to be genuine utterances of our Lord; to offer some explanation of, and notes upon, different "Sayings"; and to present the whole subject in a readable form.

Drawing on a range of sources, including ancient texts and oral traditions, Smith sheds light on the teachings of Jesus that have been lost to history.

Book Description
The number of words in the New Testament is 181,253. Only 36,450 of these 181,253 words are the words of Christ--barely over 20 per cent. Considered as verses, the New Testament has 7,959 verses, of which but 1,599 are sayings of Christ. These relatively few sayings of Jesus have not a place apart, but run in an uneven distribution through the four Gospels (a few in other Books); and in each of the four Gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke, John--the "sayings" are unevenly distributed through the narrative. Often a "saying" recorded, it may be, by Matthew, is paraphrased, or even duplicated, by one or more of the other three biographers, none of whom seems to have intended either a chronological harmony with the others, or even a sustained sequence of his own. Accordingly, only the devoted reader of the New Testament, the habitual reader, is sufficiently the delver to have become familiar with Christ's sayings--really familiar--familiar with the sayings not only as severally set down by the four evangels, but also as one message, one gospel proclaiming the Saviour's great objective. If relatively few persons in a Christian country are habitual readers of the sayings of Christ, that may be because relatively few persons are delvers. The publisher is convinced that this book provides the means for the nonreaders of the New Testament to become familiar with Jesus the Christ, his sayings, and his great purpose, without delving--indeed without effort, so engaging is the story here recorded--a glowing short story.

Book Description
"Our subject is the lost sayings of our Lord, or--to give them their Greek name--the "the agrapha," which means literally the "unwritten sayings," saying which are not recorded in the four Gospels. As a matter of fact, we possess a not inconsiderable number of sayings which have come down to us outside the canonical Gospels, a fact of great importance not only for the study of the Gospels themselves, but also for the Church and its message . . . "How does it come about, we immediately ask, that there are such things as sayings of Jesus outside the Gospels? Why were they left out of our Gospels? How did these two parallel streams of tradition arise, sayings in the Gospels and sayings outside them?" --from chapter 1

Book Description
"Look with new eyes and listen with a fresh heart"-this is the approach Maxie Dunnam urges us to take as we consider the fifteen sayings of Jesus that form the basis for That's What the Man Said. "These sayings," writes Dr. Dunnam, "are tough sayings, demanding sayings, comforting sayings, bracing sayings, judging sayings." These sayings can guide and strengthen us as we attempt to live with purpose and meaning as Christians. Alongside a devotional commentary on the fifteen sayings, Dr. Dunnam provides exercises and guidance for reflection and writing. These exercises help the reader experience the sayings more fully and appropriate and integrate their meaning into daily life. In addition, at the end of the book are questions relating to each chapter that will enable the individual reader to move deeper into the sayings and help the group leader facilitate group discussion. In this book Dr. Dunnam deals with such topics as trusting God, making choices, forgiveness, valuing our humanness, being as Christian as we are, becoming like a child, being unworthy servants, cross-bearing discipleship, friendship with Jesus, having the poor with us always, and asking the question, "How deep is down?"
