The Lost Sayings of Jesus: Annotated and Explained

I received the first copy of my new book, The Lost Sayings of Jesus: Annotated and Explained
a few days ago. It looks very nice, but I can still hardly read it. Perhaps after a few glasses of wine. It collects sayings of Jesus outside of the New Testament and the Gospel of Thomas. It's organised into Christian, Jewish, Gnostic, Islamic and other sources. I hit on the idea of doing this in response to Skylight Paths' request that it be a multi-faith book, and it turned out to be a great way of making sense of the sayings. It has a larger selection of extracanonical sayings than any other collection for the general reader, and the annotations allow me to explain where the material is coming from, and what its context is.
It has a nice foreword by Gnostic expert Stephan Hoeller. And I like the stylised portrait of Jesus on the cover. More on the agrapha soon.
