How
does the Gospel of Thomas represent an independent source for the study
of early Christianity and the sayings of Jesus? For the first time,The
Gospel of St. Thomasoffers a commentary of the Gospels of Thomas,
previously only available to theologians and scholars. Richard
Valantasis provides fresh translations of the Coptic and Greek text,
with an illuminating commentary, examining the text line by line. 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.
