In His Own Words is a collection of Jesus' teachings from over Eighty Biblical and non-Biblical texts. Two-thirds of the nearly 1200 quotes are from non-Biblical sources not found in general collections, including early Christian works, Gnosticism, Mormonism, and Islam.
In His Own Words is divided into fifty-one thematic chapters or sections, consisting mostly of single sentence quotations. There is also a short Foreword and, at the end, a Glossary of Sources, and Index by Source, and a Key Word and Topical Index. Most importantly, In His Own Words illustrates that the sayings of Jesus are as relevant today as 2,000 years ago.
