Thomas and the Gospels

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the Gospel of Thomas, this book presents a compelling argument that it may not be an independent early Christian text, but rather a collection influenced by the Synoptic Gospels. Mark Goodacre analyzes its enigmatic sayings, suggesting they aim to provoke thought rather than convey a straightforward narrative. Through careful comparisons with Matthew and Luke, he highlights the dynamic and diverse nature of early Christianity, challenging conventional views of Thomas's significance in the historical context of Christian texts.
