St. Thomas’s Gospel is one of the most hotly debated documents from Early Christianity. No other piece of extra-canonical scripture has given rise to such controversy about whether it presents Jesus’ message in a more original and less theologically sophisticated form than the New Testament Gospels. The papers collected in the present volume give an insight into the present state of research and demonstrate new perspectives on the question of the status of the various texts and traditions of St. Thomas’s Gospel in the history of religion.
