The Logia of Yeshua

The Logia of Yeshua

"The Logia of Yeshua", by Guy Davenport and Benjamin Urrutia, published by Counterpoint Press, is a compendium of canonical and extracanonical sayings of Jesus that are considered authentic by the authors. The book won critical praise for its scholarship and poetic language. "Throughout, "The Logia of Yeshua" freshens familiar New Testament injunctions, encouraging us to think anew about their meanings." ("Washington Post",April 7, 1996.) The word Logia itself applies to teachings of Jesus used as source materials by the Gospel writers in the writing of the canonic narrative gospels. Logia refers to logic as well, the logic those teachings imply.
