<p>SShoemaker: /* External Links */</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Gospel of Thomas''' is a unique apocryphal work that contains 114 verses of brief sayings attributed to [[Jesus]] most of which begin with the words &quot;Jesus said.&quot; There are some parallels to the [[New Testament]] [[Gospels]], and some areas that are contrary, and some areas of new creation. It is a gospel of sayings that is different from the narrative gospels in the New Testament. <br /> <br /> The Gospel of Thomas was rejected by [[Cyril of Jerusalem]], an early theologian and [[Doctor of the Church]]. [[Hippolytus]] and [[Origen]] likewise make mention of a gospel of Thomas as not having biblical authority.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> <br /> http://www.tektonics.org/qt/thomasgospel.html<br /> <br /> http://www.thethomasgospel.com/default.htm<br /> <br /> [[Category:Gnostic Writings]]</div>
