Sermons and commentaries and devotional writings all attest to the importance of keeping fresh perspective on even timeless teachings. Teacher's Teachings keeps perspective fresh by offering a new selection and arrangement and translation of Jesus' words: here are teachings readers have always heard, as they've never been heard. Teacher's Teachings includes only teachings (no birth, passion, miracle, or other narratives), but it includes teachings from noncanonical gospels alongside teachings from the canonical gospels, and it translates them with more fidelity to the original language than to King James, all in order to affirm that the teachings of Jesus have value not because they are old but because they are always new.
