review: Editorial Reviews Review "Harsh. Testy. Uncompromising. These aren't words typically associated with Jesus, but Christian scholar Phyllis Tickle, a former religion editor of Publishers Weekly , says they often came to mind as she wrote her new book, The Words of Jesus. " --Newsweek Magazine "These sayings of Jesus will be a valuable tool to Christians looking for new ways to study and assimilate His core teachings and character." --Publishers Weekly "I'm wary of any attempt to abstract the words of Jesus from their context in the distinctive particulars of the four Gospels. But Phyllis Tickle's The Words of Jesus is worth the price of admission and more: she's given us one of the richest engagements with Scripture I've encountered in a long while." --John Wilson, editor of "Books & Culture" and "Christianity Today" About the Author Phyllis Tickle (1934-2015) was the founding editor of the religion department at Publishers Weekly and one of the most highly respected authorities and popular speakers on religion in America. She authored more than two dozen books, including the Divine Hours series of prayer manuals. A lector and lay eucharistic minister in the Episcopal Church, Tickle was a senior fellow of the Cathedral College of Washington National Cathedral.
