Thomas: Seeking the Historical Context of the Gospel of Thomas

Autor Risto Uro
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 sep 2003
Many scholars believe that the Gospel of Thomas, the famous collection of Jesus' sayings found in Nag Hammadi in 1945, radically changes our understanding of the origins of Christianity. The Gospel is generally studied closely for the new light it throws on pre-canonical traditions and for the different world of wisdom it seems to represent. By contrast, Risto Uro seeks to locate the Gospel of Thomas on the map of early Christian literature and history by comparing the Gospel to other related writings and traditions of the period. These include the writings ascribed to the mysterious apostle, Judas Thomas, other documents from Nag Hammadi, Paul and Stoic teachers, and the Gospel of Matthew. Uro argues that the conventional methods scholars have been using in their studies are in need of rethinking and refinement. Among many conclusions is the author's belief that Thomas is an early second-century work written by people who, like many other first- and second-century Christians, understood Jesus' message in terms of the Hellenistic belief in the divine origin of the self.

Recenzii

"Overall, the scholarship presented in this volume is of the highest quality and may serve as the watermark of the state of things at the conclusion of the work of the SBL Thomas Traditions Group. But if Urso shows anything definitive, it is that the work on this text is still only beginning."
