The Gospel of Thomas by Richard Valantasis
For the first time, this volume offers a commentary of the Gospel of Thomas, which has previously been accessible only to theologians and scholars.'This is a brilliant bookThe author's observations as to what the text is saying will sometimes come as an eye-opening surprise especially to those already familiar with - Thomas.'
'Valantasis has written the best commentary on the - Gospel of Thomas that has ever been written and it is hard to imagine that a better internally referential one could be written.'
'Can be strongly recommended to any reader interested in the development of early Chrstianity.' - Network
'It is pleasant when one picks up a book on an early Christian document and soon afterwards can say: "This is the book I have been waiting for to recommend to my students". Such is my reaction to this book ... The syle in which Valantasis writes is clear and concise ... a good and useful work that deserves praise ...' - Thomas O'Loughlin, Heythrop Journal
