The Words of Jesus

The Words of Jesus is a novel turned internet project created by R. Lee Cantelon. Cantelon organized the words of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospels, into a concise book, with the intention of making the message of Christ available to non-religious readers or people curious about the meaning and depth of Christ’s words who found themselves alienated from organized church and religion. Instead of using the traditional chapters and verses, this translation instead groups Jesus’ words into small thematic sections that are then placed into six larger thematic groups. The finished manuscript, following review by Vatican theologians, was even granted the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, the official authorization of a theological text by the Catholic Church. The Words of Jesus was first published in book form in 1990, and the website version (found at http://www.thewords.com) went up in 1999.
