Reviews for The Gospel of Thomas
"Professor Davies has taken the Gospel of Thomas to the next level of intelligibility and accessibility. The commentary stretches the mind, while the comprehensible and accessible translation make Jesus' (and Thomas’s) voice clear. A masterful resource for both spiritual and intellectual seekers!" —Richard Valantasis, Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, Iliff School of Theology
