The Way of Jesus is the companion volume to Abundant Life and The Life and Teachings of Jesus. Abundant Life searches for truth in the earliest books of the New Testament and finds it before Paul spent 12 years living among the pagans of the Mediterranean region. The books which comprise our New Testament were selected in 367 AD by the bishop of Alexandria. Within the books that were selected, the emphasis is on the pagan ideas of virgin birth, death and resurrection of a divine being, and vicarious sacrifice. What I present here is a compilation of the book Acts and the letters of the New Testament with the Pauline theology removed, leaving the pure essence of the Way of Jesus. It is not a reference book to look up or study individual verses, but a book to be read, the story of how Jesus would have us live our lives. It is the New Testament not of the cult of Christ promoted by Paul, but the Way of Jesus distilled from the New Testament.
