Summary
Discovered in 1945 at Nag Hammadi, the Coptic Gospel of Thomas ranks among the most significant apocryphal writings of early Christianity. Long regarded as a loose collection of sayings, Stephanie Janz adopts a new approach: tracing catchwords and recurring motifs to interpret the logia within the context of the whole text.
