THIS BOOK HAS BEEN UPDATED, SEE THOM'S GOSPEL REVISED EDITION : https://a.co/d/01URgLDW What if there was a version of the Gospel of Thomas that was written for today, like what "The Message" did for the Bible? Okay. Here ya go. This contemporary rendering frees the text from Christian buzzwords, highlights its natural flow, and honors it's inherent mystic, more "Wisdom School" flavor. The Gospel of Thomas is a sayings gospel, a collection of connected aphorisms, actually. What makes them even more helpful for our spiritual formation is that they lack the added in stories to the teachings that Jesus offered. This means we can also approach the text as it stands on its own, free from the harmonizing and "caricaturizing" of Jesus. Thom's Gospel includes this contemporary translation, alongside a parallel traditional translation, and annotation/ commentary broken up by thought, as well as an uninterrupted translation that can be used in contemplation or easily read in a sitting or two.
