The Gospel of Thomas

Pseudonymously attributed to 'Didymos Judas Thomas'; actual author unknown, with most scholars favoring 2nd-century AD composition (proposals range from the mid-1st to early 3rd century). Preserved complete in a 4th-century Coptic manuscript from Nag Hammadi, with earlier Greek fragments also surviving; a collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus without narrative framework, some paralleling the canonical gospels and others reflecting a more mystical, wisdom-oriented Christianity.
