Official synopsis Publisher
The Gospel According to Thomas is a gospel discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls and represents the earliest know gospels we have and have been labeled as heretical by the Catholic church. They have done so because these gospels paint a very different picture of who Jesus was that conflicts with who the Church needs him to be. Many of these sayings are not easily understood and therefor open to misleading interpretations. The intent of this book is to suggest that they can be understood in terms of spiritual traditions that are about attaining to higher realms of awareness as opposed to western traditions that would use them to create dogma.
