This is a great series of posts. As a Christian who subscribes to the understanding of Mary as Theotokos and Chalcedon, discovering these texts years ago has altered my understanding of global Christianity. I still believe in both (Theotokos and Chalcedon), but how can one deny the legitimacy of the Church of the East who preached the Nicene faith in such a different context and had no need for either? I worshipped with them here in Chicago recently (the Church of the East) and just haven’t been the same since. I don’t know where I’d be without the Jesus Sutras. Merton (to my knowledge) had no idea about them. Did he? What gifts we’ve been given.

Thanks for this!

I am encouraged to find that the author "highly recommends" Martin Palmer’s book "The Jesus Sutras" (2001) which I've cherished. I appreciate her reference. Meanwhile, what she gives us here is very helpful!
