Robert Holden in conversation with
NEIL DOUGLAS-KLOTZ
On his new book: REVELATIONS OF THE ARAMAIC JESUS
Hi, Robert here! Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus by Neil Douglas-Klotz had been on my reading list for this year, and I was so inspired by what I read, that I asked Neil if he would grant me an interview – and he kindly agreed.
In this 25-minute conversation, I share how I first came across Neil’s work back in 1991 when I was assistant editor of an holistic health journal called Caduceus. I’ve followed Neil’s work ever since, and he has been a huge inspiration to me.
In our conversation, we explore the JESUS BEFORE CHRISTIANITY! Neil shares Jesus’s teachings in Aramaic, which is the language Jesus spoke in. The teachings in the original Aramaic are beautiful, inspiring and a revelation.
Enjoy this rich conversation! Here is a link to the landing page for his book, which features lots more inspiration on the Aramaic Jesus!
