Description
The best-known and quite provocative ancient text discovered in the Nag Hammadi collection is the Gospel of Thomas. But its relationship to the Bible is mysterious; its teaching on women is inspiring and confusing; the light it sheds on understanding Jesus is surprising. Most of all, its 114 Sayings are compelling and thought-provoking. Dr. Shirley Paulson and Dr. Hal Taussig introduce all these topics and give students the opportunity to explore, learn, ponder, and decide for themselves how to answer some of these important questions that surface for all readers of the Gospel of Thomas.
