First sentence: THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS, discovered in 1945 in the region of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt, is a collection of one hundred and fourteen logia or "naked sayings," attributed to the Master, the Mild, the Living One.
Description: Hidden for two millennia in a stone jar, the Gospel of Thomas was discovered in the Egyptian desert in 1945. It contains many sayings of Jesus that are not found in the New Testament -- many of which are thought to predate those found in the Gospels -- offering a fresh encounter with the historical Jesus. Calligraphy in Greek.
