Das Thomas-Evangelium

The Gospel of Thomas is perhaps the most mysterious tradition from the environment of Jesus of Nazareth. Although it was not included in the official biblical canon, it exerted a profound influence in secret. Based on the sources of the text available today, Ralph Skuban has created a masterful new translation that unveils the deeper dimensions of these "hidden words of Jesus." This not only opens up a new, fascinating access to the "good news," but it also becomes clear that the essence of Jesus' teachings can indeed be connected to the spiritual wisdom tradition of the East. This revolutionary new edition of the Gospel of Thomas reveals not only a new dimension of Christian mysticism but also builds bridges to other spiritual traditions. In this sense, the present book is a significant contribution to the "ecumenism of the heart.".
