Focusing on the historical context of the Gospel of Thomas, this book provides a clear and comprehensive exploration of its origins and significance. Nicholas Perrin challenges the prevailing belief that the text dates back to the time of Jesus or the apostles, suggesting instead that it emerged in the late second century CE. He also posits that it was originally written in Syriac. Ultimately, Perrin emphasizes that the true importance of the Gospel lies in its insights into early Christianity rather than its portrayal of Jesus.
