From pre-New Testament texts comes a true picture of Jesus as savior, sage, and common man--allowing readers to see an image of Jesus unadulterated by 2,000 years of myth and interpretation. Photos & maps.
Dramatically discovered in Egypt in 1945 after being lost for 1,600 years, the Gospel of Thomas forces a reassessment of both Jesus and his message. This accessible translation of the text allows readers to see a Jesus unadulterated by 2,000 years of myth and interpretation - a strikingly different figure from the one in the New Testament.
