The Gospel of Thomas: Classic Translation by Hugh McGregor Ross
The Gospel of Thomas lay hidden in the sands of Egypt for over 1600 years until recently discovered. Thus, it was not tampered with by anyone, and what we have are the sayings of a Master, with very little colouring or dilution. The Gospel is made up entirely of short and highly concentrated sayings - mini-parables, each with an outer form and deep inner meanings - which are given in symbolic language that reaches directly to the spiritual being at the centre of each of us. They are presented here in pleasing and sympathetic calligraphy. These poetic and profound sayings can point to the answers to many questions of vital importance. In absorbing them, an inner tranquillity, peace and contentment may be found. This is ancient wisdom, yet it has timeless quality that makes it entirely relevant for our age.
