The Gospel of Thomas

The Gospel of Thomas is a collection of 114 sayings of Christ, purportedly recorded by his disciple Thomas. Included is a series of dialogues between him and the disciples in which he shares parables, aphorisms, and other spiritual insights. The Gospel of Thomas emphasizes Jesus's role as a wisdom teacher and challenges the faithful to wrestle with the subtle meaning of his words.
