The Infancy Gospel of Thomas presents a provocative portrayal of Jesus as a child exhibiting troubling behaviors, often acting with violence over minor grievances. Cousland explores three interconnected representations of Jesus: as a holy terror, a child, and a miracle worker. He argues that these roles, while seemingly contradictory, create a cohesive understanding of Jesus' character, reflecting his dual nature as both human and divine. This work offers a thorough analysis of the unique Christology in this lesser-known gospel, shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of Jesus' life.
