Publisher Description
The Gospel of Thomas was found in 1945 near Nag-Hammadi, Egypt. Scholars were immediately greatly interested, but its sayings appear so enigmatic that its meaning is impenetrable.
This book solves the enigma and brings to light the hidden meaning within it, focusing on three sayings in particular: number 4, 7 and 87. Their meaning, in fact, defines the fundamental idea of this Gospel.
An idea which is a challenge:
for Theologists who think that holy scriptures are a privileged way to access the divine;
for Atheists who have not been able to recognize the symbolic image of Jesus’ atheism: the newborn baby;
for Historians who have not understood the historical value of this Gospel;
for Darwinians, because Jesus’ dangerous idea troubles human spirit as much as Darwin’s idea;
for Psychologists who have not understood the intuitions that Jesus had about psychology;
but above all, it is a unique opportunity to know the historic Jesus, because this Gospel is no other than a self-portrait of Jesus
