Synopsis
The book highlights the differences between the teachings of Thomas' Jesus and Paul's. For the Jesus of Thomas is not a savior come down from heaven, but a man who has awakened to the truth of the interconnectedness of all things. The parallels to Buddhism are numerous. It is in this lost Gospel that Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism meet as a single, coherent message. This book consolidates these forgotten teachings into nine inspiring, easy-to-grasp insights that make this ancient book a practical guide for contemporary spiritual seekers of any-or no-tradition.
