The Gospel of Thomas (New Testament Readings)
'This is a brilliant book. The author's observations as to what the text is saying will sometimes come as an eye-opening surprise especially to those already familiar with-Thomas.''Valantasis has written the best commentary on the-Gospel of Thomas that has ever been written and it is hard to imagine that a better internally referential one could be written.''Can be strongly recommended to any reader interested in the development of early Chrstianity.'-Network'It is pleasant when one picks up a book on an early Christian document and soon afterwards can say: This is the book I have been waiting for to recommend to my students. Such is my reaction to this book ... The syle in which Valantasis writes is clear and concise ... a good and useful work that deserves praise ...'-Thomas O'Loughlin, Heythrop Journal
