The Sayings of Jesus

Praise for The Sayings of Jesus

“Davenport and Urrutia have approached the sayings of Jesus—the logia of Yeshua—with the eyes and ears of poets and linguists who seek to encounter the itinerant street preacher and poet who lies behind the mythic figure . . . Nearly akin to a volume of poetry reconstructed from fragments, and readers should expect to encounter the translators as collaborators of the poet . . . They are sensitive collaborators, and the encounter will prove revealing, especially for readers who believe they know Yeshua well.” —Booklist
