The Gospel Of Thomas

The Gospel Of Thomas

The Gospel Of Thomas

TRANSLATED BY STEVAN DAVIES

Brief Description:
This scripture, which dates from the time of the 4 canonical Gospels, was discovered at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. It is a collection of the sayings of Jesus without the biographical narrative or miracle stories of the N T Gospels. Many scholars believe it to represent Jesus's teaching in its purest form. Davies' translation is accompanied by his extensive, highly readable annotation. " Davies has taken the Gospel of Thomas to the next level of intelligibility and accessibility. The commentary stretches the mind, while the comprehensible and accessible translation make Jesus' (and Thomas's) voice clear. A masterful resource .!" -Richard Valantasis.
