Recovering the Original Gospel of Thomas: A History of the Gospel and its Growth de April D. DeConick

Recovering the Original Gospel of Thomas: A History of the Gospel and its Growth: The Library of New Testament Studies

Autor April D. DeConick
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2006
This book explores the fascinating and enigmatic collection of 114 sayings of Jesus, the 'Gospel of Thomas' that was discovered in the sands of Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in the 1940's. Since its discovery, scholars and the public alike have been intrigued to know what the Gospel says and what light it sheds on the formation of early Christianity. Here, DeConick provides a new English translation of the entire Gospel of Thomas, which includes the original 'kernel' of the Gospel and all the sayings. A unique feature of this book is that translations to the parallels of the Gospel are also included.

Caracteristici

Early Christianity in Context is a new series that will be important to researchers and students in many different fields: biblical studies, patristics, Jewish Studies, classics and ancient history, it examines the birth and development of early Christianity up to the end of the second century CE. It places early Christianity in its social, cultural, political and economic context, crossing traditional pseudo-boundaries between the 'Jewish' and 'Graeco-Roman' worlds.

Recenzii

"The value of this work is that it gives a clear presentation of one view of the Gospel of Thomas and its significance."
"No-one who wishes to do serious historical work on this gospel will be able to ignore them" ANVIL vol.24 no.4 2007
"DeConick's book is a new and fresh look at the Gospel of Thomas in light of recent scholarship with regard to oral traditions."
"It's a well-written book...an interesting read for the serious biblical scholar."
'In welding new theories of orality and community memory to traditional historical criticism, April DeConick has produced a ground-breaking study of the Gospel of Thomas that convincingly overturns much of current scholarship. Rediscovering the Original Gospel of Thomas is the most important book on that gospel to appear in a very long time.' Birger A. Pearson, Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara.
"This reveals a Jesus remembered, not just as the author of timeless sayings (as is often thought to be the case both in Thomas and Q), but as a 'prophet-orator', giving warnings and instructions to a Christian community struggling to survive in the turbulent years of the late first century CE"
