Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:This book by Robert Wolfe explores the church history around the Gospel of Thomas and why it has been hidden and censored over the centuries, namely because it shows Jesus teaching nondual enlightenment and (like other recent discoveries) shows his relationship to Mary was very different than has been taught by the Church tradition. After more than a millenium of being lost in an Egyptian desert, might the uncensored message of Jesus finally be heard in the modern world?Scholars have said about the discovery of The Gospel of Thomas scripture: • "The single most important non-canonical book yet to be uncovered." • "A very important discovery--probably doing more as a single text to advance our understanding of the historical Jesus (and of the transmission of his teachings) than all the Dead Sea Scrolls put together." • "One of the most important archaeological finds in the history of New Testament scholarship--every bit as revolutionary for the study of the New Testament as the Dead Sea Scrolls are for the study of the Hebrew bible." • "A gospel that understands 'salvation' to come from some other means than a 'risen' Jesus."The Gospel of Thomas as Robert Wolfe shows is very different from the New Testament gospels. + There are no miracles; no crowds of followers; no temple confrontations.+ No crucifixion or resurrection tales; no theology of sin, judgment, hell or redemption.+ No misogyny (Salome and Mary are two of the five disciples named); no discussion of founding a church; no talk of a Second Coming; and no pious rephrasing of Old Testament commandments.+ There is no talk of a post-crucifixion bodily resurrection, nor any miracle sagas which one could accept only on faith. As this book explores, Jesus about himself in the Gospel of Thomas as the embodied Presence of an enlightened sage or master. If you read The Gospel of Thomas: The Enlightenment Teachings of Jesus you will discover:Does The Gospel of Thomas record the nondual enlightenment teachings of Jesus—and were they left out of the New Testament for that reason? Do conventional understandings of Thomas miss its real significance?  How does the message of Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas exemplify the ancient teachings of nondual enlightenment?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
