“Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus returns us to the original Aramaic of Jesus’s words, where the breath, the body, and the soul are part of a living wholeness in which nature and the divine are not separate.”
–Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, author of Prayer of the Heart in Christian and Sufi Mysticism.
The Hidden Gospel (1999)
The Hidden Gospel is not buried in the sands, not locked in a secret library, not being channeled by a new “messiah.” The Hidden Gospel is in plain sight. We fine it in Jesus’ familiar words newly translated from Aramaic, the language he actually spoke.
The key Aramaic words and ideas found in the canonical Gospel, plus a reverse glossary from King James English to its Aramaic equivalent. Body prayer contemplations throughout.

Prayers of the Cosmos (1990)
The book that launched Neil’s work: presents the Lord’s Prayer and Beatitudes in new, multi-layered, interpretive translations.
“Here we find a Lord’s Prayer and Beatitudes that call even the most agnostic of ecofeminists and deep ecologists to reverence–and to a glad reconnection with the forgotten roots of our shared culture. Breathe a sigh of relief as you open Prayers of the Cosmos! It is high time we reclaimed the ecstatic love of creation that is at the heart of Jesus’ mission and message.” –Joanna Macy

Judas Thomas Mysteries Book One
A.K.A. Chisti (Neil Douglas-Klotz)

Blessings of the Cosmos (2006)
In Blessings of the Cosmos, published in 2006, Neil investigates Jesus’ best-loved benedictions, including: invocations of light, joy, peace, and faith in the Beatitudes in Luke, and Jesus’ last messages to the disciples, including the “great commandment” on love, the “many mansions” teaching, and the blessing of “greater works.”
