description: A modern translation of the Gospel of Thomas, along with a commentary on each saying. Provides a wealth of background on the history of Gospel texts in general and attempts to draw a portrait of the man known as Thomas.By bringing the Gospel of Thomas into the light, and its long-silent voice into English, Grant and Freedman suggest the many alternative roads that religious history - in fact, all history - might have taken. They also supply a remarkable record of the meaning and depth of faith in the ancient Mediterranean world.
