Recently, I have started to compose The Gospel of Thomas - that is, I am putting it to music. I have had to slice up the work, since it consists of a prologue (Prologion) and 114 logia, separate statements ascribed to Jesus. The source was found in 1945 at Nag Hammadi, Egypt and dates back to somewhere between 60 and 200 A.D.. In this video, you can hear a MIDI "performance" by my computer. I hope this piece will show Thomas' qualities as a disbeliever, as a scientist, as a seeker of Truth.
