So what’s The Gospel According to Jesus all about?

What is the gospel according to Jesus? Simply this: that the love we all long for in our innermost heart is already present, beyond longing. -Stephen Mitchell, author of The Gospel According to Jesus. “Love your neighbor as yourself.” -Imam Talib Abdur-Rashid The Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood, Harlem, NY “For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you.” -Maya Angelou Author/Poet, North Carolina No one in history has been as famous and widely interpreted as Jesus of Nazareth. For two thousand years, beginning with the Gospels, people have tried to capture the essence of his teachings in words, in art, in music - and in their daily experience. The Gospel According to Jesus continues the noble quest for Jesus’ actual words. This translation and guide is based on poet/scholar Stephen Mitchell’s popular book, which critics called “a masterpiece of immense power and permanence.” You will see hundreds of people - from our most famous celebrities to the homeless poor - read and analyze this “living gospel.” Participants include: Maya Angelou, Rev.Calvin Butts, Deepak Chopra, Ran Dass, Erica Jong, Norman Lear, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi, Marianne Williamson and many others.

Personally, I thought Judy Collins was incredible, but wasn’t too impressed with Sam Keen.
