Book Synopsis The Words of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas by : David W. Kim
Download or read book The Words of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas written by David W. Kim. This book was released on 2021-07-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a detailed analysis of the Gospel of Thomas in its historic and literary context, providing a new understanding of the genesis of the Jesus tradition. Discovered in the twentieth century, the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas is an important early text whose origins and place in the history of Christianity continue to be subjects of debate. Aiming to relocate the Thomasine community in the wider context of early Christianity, this study considers the Gospel of Thomas as a bridge between the oral and literary phases of the Christian movement. It will therefore, be useful for Religion scholars working on Biblical studies, Coptic codices, gnosticism and early Christianity.
