A fresh look at life

The most common name in human history, Jesus
Rereading his language in modern terms, across two thousand years

If Jesus came back alive today,
It will speak to us in the language of this book.

Jesus was a human being who walked the land of Palestine two thousand years ago and spoke directly to his contemporaries.
But over time, his words have been layered with meaning through religious interpretations and traditions.
Professor Kim Hak-cheol, a leading Korean religious scholar, removes the layers of interpretation and reinterprets it beyond a literal translation into a translation that connects with today's lives.
Translation is not simply the act of translating words; it is the act of reviving a language that resonates with our lives today, taking into account its historical, cultural, and social contexts.

The reason Jesus' language is so great is because it is true wisdom that awakens everyone.
His every word is not just for those of a specific religion, but leads to principles of life that any human being can empathize with and reflect on.
So, Jesus' language transcends time and still lives on today, and it resonates deeply in the realities we each face.

Therefore, this book is not a Bible commentary to follow doctrine.
It is accessible to anyone, regardless of religious affiliation, and it presents Jesus not as an absolute being but as a mentor and guide for reflecting on life, bringing the vivid message he sought to convey to the present day.
The author chews over each and every sentence of Jesus and uses it as a mirror that reflects the thirst deep within us.

We all get lost in life.
Finding the way again through Jesus

The text is a compilation of Jesus' words from the four Gospels, organized into three themes: 'Change your mind,' 'Rethink your thinking,' and 'See life anew.'
Each passage is not simply a doctrinal instruction, but a specific and essential question about how we should live as human beings.
Sayings like “Don’t worry about unnecessary things,” “Even small acts of kindness are rewarded,” and “It is the heart that makes a person unclean” transcend religious contexts and are wisdom that can be put into practice in everyday life.


The author recommends that you savor one passage a day rather than reading this book in one sitting.
Because a single short sentence can contain such profound insight that it could easily become a page, a book.
The words are short and the sentences are concise, but within them are compressed the weight of life and the moments of choice.
So, this is not a book to be skimmed through quickly, but rather a book that resonates more deeply when you take your time and reflect on it slowly.
Just as discovering a world in a grain of sand, a single sentence can become the starting point of a reflection that shakes my entire life.
This book gives us just such a moment of enlightenment.
