The Gospel of Thomas

A New Translation for Spiritual Seekers

By: Mark Mattison

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"These are the hidden sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down." With this opening statement, the Gospel of Thomas, legendary Apostle to the East, introduces a startlingly profound list of Jesus' ancient Wisdom sayings. Similar to the collections of quotations copied by the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Thomas' Gospel contains a hundred and fourteen sayings, half of which don't appear in the New Testament. Once known from only a handful of ancient sources, third-century Greek fragments of this Gospel first turned up at the end of the nineteenth century – but it wasn't until the middle of the twentieth that a complete Coptic manuscript was discovered. The Gospel of Thomas: A New Translation for Spiritual Seekers not only cuts through the ensuing debate, but also presents the very first public domain translation of this amazing discovery.

The list of sayings of Jesus

I found the book easy to understand. And the language used was inspiring. It was also very comfortable to listen to.

Thomas gospel

I liked it all and will listen to it multiple times. I have heard of the gospel of and felt blessed to find it on audible.

Explanations

I like hearing the different aspects of the gospel. Listen to it a couple more times to get as much out of it as I can.

AI voices are torture

Used AI to narrate. Torture. Text is ok but lacking historical context. Not worth reading.
