The Gospel of Thomas: The Hidden Sayings of Jesus by Marvin W. Meyer
3.0
I watched a program on the History Channel quite some time ago that referenced the Gospel of Thomas a few times and it made me want to check it out on my own at some point.
Overall, I didn't really see anything overly ground-breaking here...there wasn't much that really strayed from the gospels that are currently "accepted"...I think I probably would have enjoyed the read more if I read this as part of a course or a larger discussion...I feel like I probably missed a lot of significance just because I'm not overly knowledgeable about mysticism and everything. Ideally I'd like to do some more reading and maybe return to this at a later day...maybe I'll get more out of it once my foundation is a bit better.
