The Gospel of Thomas is one of the most debated early Christian
writings. Discovered as a Coptic translation in the Nag Hammadi
Library, its date, message and relation to the canonical gospels
have been the subject of much divisive argument. This book offers
new perspectives on the gospel and demonstrates the various ways in
which it sheds light on the ideological and social history of early
Christianity.Expert scholars go to the heart of current issues in
Thomasine studies, such as the role of oral and written traditions
in the composition of the gospel, Thomas' relationship with the
Gospel of John and with Gnostic and ascetic tendencies in early
Christianity, the gospel's attitude to women followers of Jesus and
to Jewish ritual practices.>
