The Fifth Way: On the Aramaic Way of Jesus with Passionate Common Sense

ByDavid Brisbin

When Jesus of Nazareth presented his view of God and life, he did so in a deeply ancient and Eastern way, a way completely unlike the ways we normally approach life-a 5th Way. There is virtually no major concept of Jesus' message and teaching that we can take at face value, that we can read as a "simple" meaning once translated into our own language. It's not that our translations are bad; they're amazingly accurate. We have the right words-we just don't know what they mean anymore. So even though the words are accurate, for us, they may not be "true." The 5th Way makes the reality of God's love consistent and clear throughout Scripture. In personal and emotional journal entries and colorful concepts and stories, the author describes the meeting place of ancient Scripture and everyday life. This 5th Way is not a thought to be contemplated, but an action to be lived. It's not a creed or a doctrine to believe, but a way and a quality of life to enjoy. You can't know the Way until you're on the Way.
