Alexander Shaia’s Interpretation of the Gospelsbr Grace Cathedral - Grace Cathedralbr In Beyond the Biography of Jesus: The Journey of Quadratos, Book I & II, Dr. Alexander Shaia offers a fresh and important interpretation of the traditional gospels and answers current controversies about the Christian scriptures.He says, "the gospels are not four stories about Jesus' life. Rather, when read in their original sequence, they lead us through a spirit-filled, universal process of transformation and healing." Shaia names this path "The Journey of Quadratos," a progression he has identified within the core traditions of Christianity as well as those of most great faiths and spiritual practices.
