Summary

The Gospel of Thomas was discovered at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. Its interpretation of Jesus is strikingly different from the traditional portraits found in the New Testament. This excellent Oxford translation makes this Gospel accessible to modern readers and allows them to discover a Jesus unadulterated by 2,000 years of myth and interpretation. Lost for 1,600 years, the Gospel of Thomas will stimulate the reader to reassess both Jesus and his teachings.
