The Gospel of Thomas was discovered
in 1945 with a cache of books in Nag Hammadi, Egypt.
The Christian and Gnostic books
had been hidden on a hillside for 1,600 years. As book burnings
spread
in the Church in the late 4th century, an unknown monastic hid these scrolls
for safe-keeping.
The Gospel of Thomas is of immense value because it dates from the same
period as the canonical
gospels and because it is a remarkable record of
what numerous
scholars claim are the actual teachings
of Jesus.
The introduction synthesizes the leading exegetical and historical research
in a bilingual Haitian Creole
and English facing-page format. The text of
The Gospel of Thomas appears in a trilingual facing-page format.
This book is designed for general readers, students and scholars of English,
Haitian Creole and French.
This volume is an excellent tool for accelerated
learning and for diving into the depth of the Apostle Thomas’
tradition.
Dr. Hans-Gebhard Bethge’s widely praised English translation appears
in an updated version. The Haitian
Creole and French translations are based
upon Dr. Bethge’s English text. The Haitian Creole translation
appears
for the first time in print.
