What did Jesus teach? How did Jesus understand himself and his mission as the Son of man? How did the early church adjust Jesus' message to meet the churches' needs? Which specific sayings of Jesus did the first Christians understand and remember from among their rabbi's words? Which specific sayings did the first and second century churches distort or insert into the mouth of Jesus? Gethsemane Soliloquy analyzes, then sorts, the Synoptic sayings of Yeshua (Jesus' Aramaic name) for those on which people who care about Yeshua's message can rely. The book sets aside those sayings that are implausible as teachings of Yeshua. Critically, Gethsemane Soliloquy summarizes Yeshua's teaching in an imaginary hour of instruction in Yeshua's Jerusalem retreat, the garden of Gethsemane, on Yeshua's last day of freedom in his short life. In the soliloquy at Gethsemane, Yeshua speaks to us.
