Gospel of Thomas

Book • 1997
The Gospel of Thomas is a non-canonical gospel, meaning it's not included in the Bible.

It's a collection of sayings attributed to Jesus, differing significantly in style and content from the canonical gospels.

It's considered Gnostic in origin, emphasizing secret knowledge and spiritual enlightenment.

Scholars debate its historical accuracy and relationship to the canonical gospels.

Its unique perspective offers insights into early Christian thought and diversity.

The Gospel of Thomas's focus on spiritual understanding rather than historical narrative sets it apart from the canonical texts.
