These exquisite teachings of Jesus were lost or misunderstood in the early gentile churches and their New Testament writings. The Greek sources were poorly translated from Aramaic and spun to promote Christian interpretation about Yeshua as a crucified savior and other Christian doctrines Yeshua never taught. However, modern scholarship has developed methods to reconstruct the forgotten Aramaic teachings of Yeshua, which were rooted in the proto-kabbalistic thought-world of Jewish mysticism, wisdom school tradition, Merkabah ascent, and Babylonian messianic apocalyptic.

 LEWIS KEIZER, M.Div., Ph.D.

 

Dr. Keizer is a scholar who has researched the historical message of Yeshua for half a century and published many books and articles reconstructing the authentic teachings. He completed his M. Div. studies at the Episcopal Divinity School with classes at Harvard Divinity School and Harvard University in Cambridge, MA; earned  his Ph.D. degree at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA; was a  member of the faculty at the University of California in Santa Cruz teaching Religious Studies and Classics, and has taught at several other universities and schools. He resigned from the Episcopal Church in 1976 to pursue his Yeshua research and private spiritual practices without pressure to conform to Christian doctrine. He was consecrated an independent Bishop that same year. Since then he has trained and ordained both women and men for non-professional home ministry and jail/hospice chaplaincies. His websites are www.hometemple.org and www.wisdomseminars.org.

SPONSORING ORGANIZATION PROVIDES:

1.      Publicity within its own membership

2.      Suitable room or hall for the seminar

3.      Lodging in private home for Dr. Keizer

4.      Projection screen for multimedia presentation

 

FINANCES: There is no cost to a sponsoring organization. Dr. Keizer and the non-profit Home Temple pay all travel expenses and provide laptop and projector. Dr. Keizer will offer his autographed books and CD’s for sale at 65% of the bookstore price to defray personal expenses.

 

THE FULL TWO-DAY WORKSHOP: This is twelve hours of presentation that is too intense for general audiences, but is suitable for academic and seminary audiences. Therefore the full version is offered on video CD's for purchase by general audiences at the abbreviated versions of the workshop shown below, which comprise a total of about seven hours of presentation. They can then be viewed at one's leisure.

  

 

THE SHORTER WEEKEND WORKSHOP: Possible formats are Friday evening followed by Saturday morning and afternoon sessions. Or, Saturday morning and afternoon followed by a Sunday afternoon session. Seven hours of presentation for general audiences plus discussion, breaks, and lunch, comprising about nine hours total.

 

THE ONE-DAY SATURDAY WORKSHOP: If those who will attend the workshop are willing to prepare by viewing links I can send them to the YouTube presentations on how the teachings of Yeshua were lost and the two-part presentations introducing the Aramaic Core of the Gospel of Thomas, those sections can be omitted from the morning and afternoon sessions. This saves more than an hour of presentation, opens up more discussion time, and creates a better one-day experience for most audiences. Usually begin at 9:30 AM with discussion and hourly breaks plus one-hour lunch break, and finish by about 4:30 PM--about seven hours for the day.
