Changes

For many centuries, no surviving text was known. A complete [[Coptic]] text of the Gospel of Thomas was among those discovered in 1945 at [[Nag Hammadi]] in [[Egypt]].  Dated to sometime in the mid 4th Century, earlier fragments have been found that date to the end of the 2nd Century; its actual time of origin is unknown.  It is not recognized as an authoritative text by any [[Christian]] denominations, but fascinates Biblical scholars who try to piece together its role in the workings of early Christianity.
