“Key to Immortality” is an engaging commentary on the Gospel of St. Thomas. Kapuscinski takes each of the logia within the Gospel of St. Thomas and discusses these logia’s meanings for his own life, leaving the reader to interpret and determine their applications within their own lives. Kapuscinski also provides important notes and discussion from translators and other commentators on the Gospel of St. Thomas.I’ve never been a big reader of the books from the Apocrypha, but Kapuscinski makes the writings seem valid and important, even if the mainstream Church does not agree. I found Kapuscinski’s writing to be fresh and engaging, and I enjoyed every moment I spent reading “Key to Immortality.”This book is an important addition to the existing commentary on the Gospel of St. Thonas, and I would encourage anybody interested in what the out-of-the-mainstream writings of the disciples had to say to give it a read today. The book is accessible even to the layperson, because Kapuscinski discusses and dissects each of the logia in a way that is clear and mostly free of theological jargon. Those of a theological bent will still find the text useful, because of the insightful viewpoints Kapuscinski expresses about the Gospel of St. Thomas and its meaning to him and us.
