Thomas
"Overall, the scholarship presented in this volume is of the highest quality and may serve as the watermark of the state of things at the conclusion of the work of the SBL Thomas Traditions Group. But if Urso shows anything definitive, it is that the work on this text is still only beginning."
The Journal of Religion
Many scholars believe that the Gospel of Thomas, the famous collection of Jesus' sayings found in Nag Hammadi in 1945, makes all the difference for our understanding of the origins of Christianity. The gospel has been studied closely for the new light it throws on pre-canonical traditions and for the different world of wisdom it seems to represent. Les mer
Among many conclusions is the author's belief that Thomas is an early second-century work written by people who, like many other first- and second-century Christians, understood Jesus' message in terms of the Hellenistic belief in the divine origin of the self.
