description: Originally written in Greek and Coptic, The Gospel of Thomas—hidden in the Egyptian sands for over 1,600 years—is the most widely read of the Gnostic Gospels. It consists of 114 short and highly concentrated sayings, each a mini-parable with deep inner meanings given in symbolic language. Expert Hugh McGregor Ross presents them here in pleasing handwritten calligraphy, and rearranges the notoriously difficult text into a coherent set of spiritual teachings—complete with an enlightening introduction, paraphrases, and explanatory notes.
