The Gospel of Thomas : Newly presented to bring out the meaning, with introductions, paraphrases and notes (4th edition 2006)
Author(s): Thomas (tr Ross Hugh McGregor; calligraphy John Blamires)
Originally written in Greek and Coptic, the Gospel of Thomas -- hidden in the Egyptian sands for over 1,600 years -- is the most widely read of the Gnostic Gospels. It consists of 114 short and highly concentrated sayings, each a mini-parable with an outer form and deep inner meanings given in symbolic language. Expert Hugh McGregor Ross presents them here in a pleasing handwritten calligraphy. He has rearranged the notoriously difficult text into a coherent set of spiritual teachings, complete with illuminating introduction, paraphrases, and explanatory notes. First published 1987; this 4th edition 2006.
