The Gospel of Thomas preserves sayings attributed to Jesus in a concise and aphoristic form; the Gospel of Mary foregrounds questions of authority and insight; and the Johannine material explores cosmology and the structure of divine emanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated and arranged by Fr. D. Ric Thomas, this edition presents the texts in accessible form while retaining their conceptual complexity. Read together, they offer a view into the diversity of early Christian thought and the interpretive traditions that developed alongside orthodox doctrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43423160303683,"sku":"9781604597189","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/4399\/2899\/files\/Dti7t0IhKJ9781604597189.webp?v=1781704981","url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/the-gnostic-gospels-of-thomas-mary-and-john-early-christian-texts-of-gnosis-and-revelation-paperback","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
