The Gospel Of Thomas - Wisdom Of The Twin

Translation, With Introduction, Notes And Questions For Reflection

BY LYNN BAUMAN

Brief Description:
This new translation is supported by material to help scholars and students alike explore the sayings of The Gospel of Thomas in depth. Unlike other translations, Lynn Bauman's sensitive work is not simply a literal translation. Based upon the principle of "dynamic equivalency," its purpose is to propel the reader/listener into an equivalent experience of language and meaning as the original Coptic text but in English, with equivalent cultural terms and ideas. It is therefore fresher, more poignant, more direct, and more understandable without being a paraphrase. In addition, the text has with it a reader's guide including questions for reflections and notes.
