The "Sermon on the Mount" gets its name from the Latin Vulgate Bible's heading for Matthew 5 "Sermo in Monte."  Perhaps it should be called the hill-side sermon.  According to tradition, it was given on a hill-side at the North-West end of the Lake Galilee.  Delivered early in Jesus' ministry, this sermon contains the essence of the Christian message.  In this episode of Religion Today, Martin Tanner delivers his own contemporary English translation of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, rendered in a way listeners will understand, and find compelling.
