This is a wonderful, handy size antique religious paperback book that is filled with inspirational sayings of Jesus. The book is titled, "The Sermon on the Mount - and Other Sayings of Jesus From The King James Version of The Holy Bible" This book is decorated by Valenti Angelo and is designed, printed, and published by The Peter Pauper Press; Mount Vernon, New York. This book has a total of 61 pages. The book is in excellent condition, except that there is a small piece of the cover missing by the spine, at the bottom. The book is just a little delicate when flipping through the pages (as most old books are); However, every page is fully intact. This book has no stains, tears, browning, foxing, writing, doodling, or pen ink. This book does not have a printed copyright date, but I would estimate the circa to be 1940 - 1950’s.

*** I’ve included a short but interesting article in regards to UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING BEHIND "THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT":

In the Gospel of St. Matthew, the Sermon on the Mount is a compilation of Jesus' sayings, epitomizing his moral teaching. According to chapters 5-7, Jesus of Nazareth gave this sermon (estimated around AD 30) on a mountainside to his disciples and a large crowd. Matthew groups Jesus' teachings into five discourses, of which the Sermon on the Mount is the first. The others concern instructions for the disciples, parables of the Kingdom, instructions for the church, and a harsh denunciation of scribes and Pharisees.

The best-known written portions of the open-air sermon comprise the Beatitudes, found at the beginning of the section. The sermon also contains the Lord's Prayer and the injunctions to "resist not evil" (5:39) and "turn the other cheek", as well as a version of the Golden Rule. Other lines often quoted are the references to "salt of the earth", "light of the world" and "judge not, lest ye be judged."

Many Christians believe that the Sermon on the Mount is a form of commentary on the Ten Commandments. It portrays Christ as the true interpreter of the Mosaic Law. To many, the Sermon on the Mount contains the central tenets of Christian discipleship, and is considered as such by many religious and moral thinkers, such as Tolstoy, Gandhi, Dietrich Bonheoffer, and Martin Luther King, Jr. It has been one of the main sources of Christian pacifism.
