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.

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.
