"The world is full of religious teachers [and] prophets. All of them claim to be able to speak authoritatively. How do we know whom to believe?" Steven Davis

Just Jesus: His Living Words (2011)

Jesus' Words on Church Structure by S. Rives

 

The entire Jesus' Words Only (Second Edition 2007) - Free

Every chapter of this book will always remain entirely free online. For your convenience, Google Books on its own converted JWO to an EPUB (well-formatted) which it offers for $9.99 at this link.  Also for your convenience, you can buy a copy from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or BBOTW (the publisher). As of 3/2012, 736 copies have sold.

I recommend everyone read chapter one as a basic synopsis. Second, a very hard hurdle for Paulinism to overcome is chapter six -- Paul's teachings on idol meat. Third, the most popular chapter is thirteen - Did John's Epistles Identify Paul as a False Prophet? Finally, the chapter that settled all doubts for myself is chapter fourteen on the Benjaminte Wolf prophecy. It is dispositive because Genesis 49:27 is clearly God's guidance on the issue of Paul. All chapters are in both PDF and HTML.
