The gospel of thomas v1.5

"These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote them down."

This app contains the full text of Mark M. Mattison's public domain translation of The Gospel of Thomas as published on Gospels.Net. The Gospel of Thomas is an early Christian era non-canonical document containing a list of 114 sayings and parables attributed to Jesus in a non-narrative form. Many scholars argue that the core of the document dates back to the earliest era of Christianity, 50-100 CE, and thus that it offers important insights into the earliest history of Christianity.

Today most students would agree that the Thomas Gospel has opened a new perspective on the first voice of the Christian tradition. Recent studies centered on GTh have led to a stark reappraisal of the forces and events forming "orthodoxy" during the second and third centuries. But more importantly, the Gospel of Thomas is awakening interest in a forgotten spiritual legacy of Christian culture. The incipit (or "beginning words") of Thomas invite each of us "who has ears to hear" to join in a unique quest:

These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke and that Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down. And He said: "Whoever finds the meaning of these words will not taste death."

Aside from The Gospel of Thomas, this app also provides sought after content on: Jesus Christ lived 33 years but it is only from the 30 years we have reports of his teachings and Didymos Judas Thomas reported a few words from the man who sacrificed himself to save mankind and the salvation of us children of God consists of life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Christ has consecrated something that has made a new situation for the human being. Jesus Christ is as a principle for humanity, just as Adam was before mankind corrupted and destroyed by sin, God sends his firstborn son for our salvation and Jesus was all that which we had lost in the act of the divine creation of Adam and Eve. Soon Christ reveals the redemptive will of God for the salvation of the human race and a new chance for the human being.
