Description
The Integral Gospel of Thomas Made Easy by John Munter is a fresh evaluation of the production of the Roman Gospels and their dialogue with their Syrian cousins. This book presents a new understanding of the Gospel of Thomas, arguing that it was designed as a coherent conversation from beginning to end. By examining the original text and its Greek versions, Munter reveals the missing 'question key' part of the Socratic dialogue, which sheds new light on the mystery school document. He also explores the use of psychomanteum meditation techniques and offers surprising interpretations of sayings such as those related to Mary Magdalene. Munter's work identifies a distinct genre of Christianity, known as 'Bridal Chamber Christianity', which produced other notable works like the Gospel of Philip and Dialogue of the Savior. This book is an insightful exploration of the complexities of early Christian thought and practice.
