Before the snow begins to fall this winter, I have resolved to prepare a list of 1,000 questions a careful reader might ask about the Gospel of Thomas. These...
Hi Rick, I wondered about Pico Iyer also, and may have found him. But, I will get to that later. Let me copy the fly leaf. I believe that the book is out of ...
Dear Rick I have some thoughts on Thomas which I would like to discuss with someone but I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for that. I have some...
Looking at saying 4 again 4) Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will ...
I am writing this group for advice on 'dissecting' the GoT to examine it in regard to its utility in conjunction with the other Gospels. I think that much can...
Thanks to Chris for sharing the info about the authenticity of Johnson's rendering of Thomas. That brings to mind 3 more questions: First, is the Pico Iyer...
Does anyone know if Nancy Anderson's translation of GTh is available in print? If so, published by whom and when? Also, can someone identify her place in the...
Does anyone know which editions of Thomas have been the most popular? Wasn't there something like the Secret Sayings of Jesus, which was a mass-market...
In a recent note, I remarked that Th77.1 ("I am the All", etc.) sounds Philonic and/or Gnostic. That may yet be the original source, but the immediate source...
Recently I suggested, in a preliminary fashion, that the Gospel of Thomas should be classified as a gnostic document. That proposal has not been well received...

It seems to me that if Colossians was written by Paul it is unlikely to be citing GThomas. It seems more likely to me that the letter to the distant...
Does anyone know if a pocket edition of Thomas, or something close to it, is in print; or if there has been such an edition in the past? Thanks Andrew Smith...
... OK. Could you maybe clarify what you mean by "trash heap"? Are talking about a scriptorium for worn out scrolls that couldn't be destroyed as they held...
Hi, David - ... The saying in GThomas that has a close parallel in Aesop (but is not necessarily "traced back to Aesop," as you put it) is saying 102 - the...
I recall a professor mentioning in a lecture (a few years ago) that some of the Thomas material can be traced back to Aesop. This was largely I think to dispel...
When I was still a student at the University of Chicago I ran across an item in the stacks, a concordance of Thomas someone did for his PhD thesis. Is there...

The Two and One sayings are a prominent part of GThomas. A number of these have parallels in the Synoptics and GThom #22 in Clement. e.g. Mark 10 6: But from...
While doing some bibliographical research, in the Harvard Theological Review (74, 1981 398), I came across the following summary of a Ph.D. dissertation, by F....
Here is a page I turned up at www.gnosis.org regarding the meaning of gnosticism from the turn of CE to modern analogs of the system like existentialism and...
There is a concise "Survey of Gnostic Beliefs and Gnostic Christian Ties" at the following site: http://pharos.bu.edu/articles/GnosticHeresies.txt I'm not...
My vote is "sort of". I believe that the "source(s)" of Thomas--Jewish apocalypticism & Philonic philosophy, perhaps with some Neoplatonic overtones--were...

It seems to be an almost assured conclusion to say that Gth is a Sayings Collection (most recent scholarship concedes to that). I would argue, however, that...
