The Gospel of Nonduality Marshall Davis

Jesus of Nazareth preached a gospel of nonduality. You would not know that by listening to most Christian preachers today. But if one looks carefully, the original spiritual message of Christ can be found in the New Testament. This is not a matter of reading one's own religious perspective into the text. This is a matter of sifting the nondual wheat from the dualistic chaff. This message of the oneness of all Reality is most clearly proclaimed in the Gospel of John. In this unique book, Christian pastor and spiritual director Marshall Davis goes through the Gospel of John chapter by chapter. He shows how the Fourth Gospel is a proclamation of Christian Nonduality as taught by Jesus and the apostle John. In his interpretation of the Christian gospel, Davis draws upon non-canonical writings of early Church, as well as other spiritual traditions of the world. The Gospel of Nonduality points to the nondual reality that Jesus called the Kingdom of God and Eternal Life. Other spiritual traditions call it enlightenment, liberation, Self-realization or awakening. Davis refers to it as unitive awareness. He understands this to be the central teaching of Jesus and the early Christian community that gathered around the apostle John. He points readers to how to realize this nondual awareness in their spiritual lives.
