The Gospel of Thomas, Revealed: Jesus rejected Judaism. Why? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595424832)

The Gospel of Thomas is a collection of 114 sayings and statements Jesus made to disciples and followers. This Gnostic Gospel is one of 13 ancient codices found near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. These Gnostic writings assert a very different perspective of early Christianity. Some of today's popular movies such as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Stigmata" make references to the secret meanings hidden in the writings of Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas.

Disciple Didymus Judas Thomas encrypted these 114 statements of Jesus challenging the dogma within Judaism. When the church spoke of sacrificing animals, and taught waiting for the world to end, Jesus would say sacrificing animals was useless and no one needed to wait for the Kingdom of Heaven to arrive. It was already here, right now, and ever present. Encrypting his words kept him out of prison. The Gospel of Thomas, Revealed untangles the meaning of these encrypted sayings. Jesus offers his disciples and followers a new covenant, vastly different from Judaism and today's Christianity, that guarantees followers who live their lives turning inside, practicing his new spiritual covenant, will find and experience the Kingdom of the Father long before death. Read what Jesus really thought.
