The best text and the best translation are presented in this
classic introductory book to the "Gospel of Thomas". In December
1945, at the base of cliffs that run along the Nile River near the
modern-day town of Nag Hammadi, an Egyptian farmer discovered a
sealed jar containing thirteen ancient Coptic codices. This
discovery represented arguably the most significant manuscript
discovery of the twentieth century for the study of the New
Testament and Christian origins. Of all the texts found none has
been more important than the "Gospel of Thomas" for our
understanding of early Christianity. This classic book presents the
best text and the best translation of Thomas in user-friendly form.
Additional chapters provide a general introduction to the "Gospel
of Thomas" and tell the fascinating story of that discovery itself
by one who was directly involved in bringing this new Gospel to
light. An annotated list 'for further reading' completes the
volume. This new edition features updated material which takes
account of recent research on the "Gospel of Thomas". The
translation has been refined at points, and the bibliographical
material updated.
