A fresh, authoritative English translation, with an informative introduction, fascinating explanatory notes, and the Coptic text, with interpretation by Harold Bloom, our preeminent literary critic.

This revision of Marvin Meyer's masterful translation is the most complete, up-to-date, and literary version of the Gospel of Thomas. Meyer, universally respected as the authority on Thomas, has refined his translation in light of the latest research and updated the Notes and Bibliography.

A new section has been added on the Oxyrhynchus 1224 Gospel, the Greek fragment of Thomas, which reproduces and translates the Greek text. The full Coptic and Greek texts are included, along with their translations. Harold Bloom's brilliant commentary adds a unique and distinguished dimension to this definitive version.

Marvin Meyer is the foremost expert on the Nag Hammadi texts and the texts about Jesus outside the New Testament. He is Griset Professor of Bible and Christian Studies and Co-Chair of the Department of Religious Studies, and Director of the Albert Schweitzer Institute, at Chapman University, Orange, CA.

"Thomas tells us more about the historical Jesus than all of the Dead Sea Scrolls put together. A superb presentation of the most important early Christian text discovered in this century."

- John Dominic Crossan, author of The Historical Jesus
