I finished the Gospel of Thomas, and I'm generally baffled. Lots of it sounds very familiar, and echoes the canonical gospels. Other sayings are basically nonsense. I'm not a scholar, but I don't think that this adds anything to the canonical gospels.
So I'm putting this back on my to-read list in case I decide to read any of the other non-canonical texts.

This is a primary resource book. It has many texts that are not in the Nag Hammadi library, so it is a great companion to it.
