Product Description
"The text describes the discovery of a very remarkable variant of the reported spoken work of Jesus Christ, which will be of interest to all Christians and scholars. To this day I recall my reaction upon first reading the concluding chapter of 'In the Shadow of Sinai', with its discussion of a remarkable variant of the reported spoken word of Jesus Christ. Brought up with a start, I read the marked passage again and quickly went to the Bible. Sure enough, the reading Matthew xii. 36 was different. But why? Surely those in charge of biblical exegesis would have known of the publication of the Gibson sister's text. And so began a small personal odyssey to bring to light, once again, this remarkable finding." -- Anthony Grahame, From the Foreword.

Review
"It is with the observant eye...that these fascinating stories of their travels and the discovery of the Syriac manuscript of the Gospels are told. Better than many a novel..." -- The Expository Times of In The Shadow of Sinai. "Delightful... such accounts remain period pieces to attitudes, observations, labors, and ventures a century past. Historians of feminism might enjoy rediscovering these Victorian scholarly women." -- Choice

Tells of a different saying of Jesus
Look at Matthew xii:36.
"But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, and every good word that men shall not speak, they shall give account therof in the day of judgement.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
See the difference between the above and your Bible? This book tells the remarkable story of how this saying, which fell from the lips of Jesus, but did not find a place in the authenticated record, came to be found (over 100 years ago), but has not been acknowledged by biblical scholars and authority.
