A Companion Guide to the Gospel of Thomas
A Journey to Inner Presence, Self-Understanding and Fullness of Personal Expression.
In this book, I share my discernment with the sole intention of showing that an authentic Christian understanding can be found within every one of us, should we choose to seek it. We each have our own version of Truth.
The Gospel of Thomas gives us permission and freedom to explore, to seek, to struggle with our inhibitions and, perhaps surprisingly, to face our fears about owning our unique version of Truth!
A guide to understanding the 114 sacred texts known as ‘The Gospel of Thomas’, revealing ancient Christian teachings and allowing for deep self-reflection and introspection.
Discovered in 1945 in Egypt, but likely dating back to around 150-200AD, the Gospel of Thomas is a collection of codices, each containing an affirmation or advice. Academic discourse has plagued the Gospel's modern existence, especially in relation to its English translation. As a result, densely unintelligible translations have been produced, using heavy ecclesiastical language and a biblical approach, obscuring the true meaning of the text to laypeople.
Now, Christine Folan provides a revolutionary approach, unpicking the Gospel's complexities, and providing a sensitive and effective way of understanding and ‘seeing’ the hidden, yet deeply profound secrets of this ancient text. Using translation excerpts from the Gospel, alongside their interpretations and real life case studies of people whose lives have been drastically changed by these teachings, The Companion Guide to The Gospel of Thomas acts a conduit for readers to use the Gospel for introspection, allowing them to search deep within themselves for their own unique truth and meaning.
