The Gospel Of Thomas: The Enlightenment Teachings Of Jesus - Robert Wolfe

Scholars have said about the discovery of The Gospel of Thomas:

• "The single most important non-canonical book yet to be uncovered."

• "A very important discovery--probably doing more as a single text to advance our understanding of the historical Jesus (and of the transmission of his teachings) than all the Dead Sea Scrolls put together."

• "One of the most important archaeological finds in the history of New Testament scholarship--every bit as revolutionary for the study of the New Testament as the Dead Sea Scrolls are for the study of the Hebrew bible."

• "A gospel that understands 'salvation' to come from some other means than a 'risen' Jesus."

The Gospel of Thomas is very different from the New Testament gospels. 

There are no miracles; no crowds of followers; no temple confrontations.

No crucifixion or resurrection tales; no theology of sin, judgment, hell or redemption.

No misogyny (Salome and Mary are two of the five disciples named); no discussion of founding a church; no talk of a Second Coming; and no pious rephrasing of Old Testament commandments.

For reasons that become clear, there is no talk of a post-crucifixion bodily resurrection, nor any miracle sagas which one could accept only on faith.

The Gospel of Thomas is truly a heretical scripture.

The self-references of Jesus, here, are not to the fleshly person but to the embodied Presence of an enlightened sage or master. And there are striking verses said to have been spoken by him--not found in canonical texts--that make sense only within the context of nonduality.

Read The Gospel of Thomas: The Enlightenment Teachings of Jesus and discover:

Does The Gospel of Thomas record the nondual enlightenment teachings of Jesus—and were they left out of the New Testament for that reason? Do conventional understandings of Thomas miss its real significance?  How does the message of Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas exemplify the ancient teachings of nonduality? After more than a millenium of being lost in an Egyptian desert, might the uncensored message of Jesus finally  be heard in the modern world?
