The Secret Message of the Gospel of Thomas

This will be my last post for now on the Coptic Gospel of Thomas.  Here I try to unpack its overarching meaning.  It delivers a surprising method, quite different from that found in the Gospels of the New Testament.  Its author, of course, thought he was delivering the ultimate truth.  It’s interesting to think about what would have happened if people found him more convincing than the authors of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.


Again, this is taken from my textbook on the NT.
