Rating:  Summary: Klotz' novell interpritation opens up new doorways ... Review: Unlike possibly many other readers of this book, I was not expecting a scholarly exegesis - just an interpritation based upon a heart-based and spiritually attuned frame of mind.Spirituality cannot be distilled into an academic formula - to do so is to rob it of the mystery it contains. In this light, I find that Klotz' insights provide a welcome, new, and "fresh" view on some of the *many* potential meanings which can be found within the original Aramaic. One has to wonder if the original versions of the christian scriptures were re-examined within this light and from the original Aramaic (and not from second or third hand Greek or Latin texts), how much the interpritation as well as the application of the principles espoused by the religion of christianity might change. Could it be possible that what we "think" the man known as Jesus said, could, in fact, be a distorted interpritation based upon a particular paradigm which does not necessarily reflect reality? My feeling is that this is a question we should all be asking ourselves. This book by Klotz can provide some insights, but ones journey to find such answers should only begin here - there is much more to learn and discover. In this light, Klotz opens up a new doorway to possibilities that our traditions and established ways of approaching the teachings of Jesus may have certainly overlooked. Yah
