Words put in Jesus’ mouth?

GAGGING JESUS
Things Jesus said we wish he hadn’t
By Phil Moore
Monarch Books. 126 pages. £4.99
ISBN 978 0 857 214 539

What did Jesus really say? In the introduction to Gagging Jesus, Phil Moore points out how throughout history the teaching of Jesus has often been ‘gagged’. As he explains: ‘everyone wants to put their own words into Jesus’s mouth and make him say exactly what they want to hear.’

Exclusively using the only reliable source, the Bible, Gagging Jesus sets out to ‘ungag’ Jesus, concentrating on 15 areas of Jesus’s teaching that the subtitle of the book suggests are ‘things Jesus said we wish he hadn’t’.
