Gospel of Thomas. Apocrypha of the Early Christians
19.99 €
Elaine Pagels, a major scholar of the history of religion, continues her study of the Gnostic gospels accidentally found in Nag Hammadi in 1945. And like Elaine Pagels's previous studies, this book overturns traditional ideas about the history of the early Christians, the spread of Christianity, and the reasons why the New Testament contains the texts that became canonical.
Elaine Pagels directs her analysis to the "secret" Gospel of Thomas and forces a new look at what is considered heretical and what is orthodox, and at how ideas about the "divine light within us" have changed. The book includes the full text of the Gospel of Thomas.
