The Gospel of Thomas
The most well known of the Nag Hammadi texts is The Gospel of Thomas. It was the first manuscripts translated from Coptic, and you can perhaps imagine the translator’s surprise to uncover those first incredible words:
These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded. And he said, "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death."
Known as ‘Doubting Thomas’ in the biblical gospels, here we find a seemingly random collection of 114 sayings from Jesus, recorded by his disciple Thomas.
Although studied extensively by modern religious scholars, The Gospel of Thomas offers far greater insight to the sincere esoteric practitioner.
