Description
The Gospel of Thomas: A New Translation and Analysis This collection of 114 sayings, known as logia, is a unique and fascinating glimpse into the teachings of Jesus. Translated and interpreted by Jean-Yves Leloup, it reveals the Jesus of the Gospel of Thomas to be a spiritual guide who invites us to drink deeply from the well of knowledge within ourselves. In this new translation, Leloup explores the gnostic significance of Jesus's teachings and explains the true nature of the new man whose coming Jesus envisioned. The Jesus of Thomas preaches a journey from limited to unlimited consciousness, and invites us to attain self-knowledge that will make each of us a Christ. A fresh and insightful look at a lesser-known text, this book offers a unique perspective on the teachings of Jesus and their relevance to our own spiritual journeys.
