The Gospel of Thomas: Discovering the Lost Words of Jesus (Discovering the Last Words of Jesus)

Dramatically discovered in Egypt in 1945 after being lost for 1,600 years, the Gospel of Thomas forces a reassessment of both Jesus and his message. This accessible translation of the text allows readers to see a Jesus unadulterated by 2,000 years of myth and interpretation - a strikingly different figure from the one in the New Testament.
