A general introduction is provided, outlining previous scholarly debates and situating the Gospel in its historical and theological contexts.The Gospel of St. Thomaspresents Thomas' gospel as an integral part of the canon of Biblical writings, informing us further about the literature of the Judeo-Christian tradition and the study of early Christianity.
Industry Reviews
"This is a brilliant book. Recommended for all." -"Society of Biblical Literature "If the "Gospel of Thomas is correct in its claim that 'Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death, ' Richard Valantasis stands a pretty good chance of being around at the dawn of the twenty-second century...This is a brilliant book." -"Review of Biblical Literature "This book may well serve the needs of readers searching for a nontraditional brand of Christian spirituality"Religious Studies Review."
