The Gospel of Thomas is a collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus, discovered in 1945 among the Nag Hammadi library in Egypt. This text is often classified as a Gnostic gospel due to its distinctive theological perspectives, which diverge from the narratives found in the canonical gospels of the New Testament. Unlike the synoptic gospels, which present a biographical account of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, the Gospel of Thomas focuses primarily on Jesus' teachings, emphasizing inner knowledge and personal revelation. This focus invites readers to explore the deeper meanings behind the sayings and encourages a more mystical approach to faith, which has profound implications for both Christians and theologians studying the essence of Jesus' message.
