| Summary: | This review article applauds Simon Gathercole and Mark Goodacre for presenting strong arguments in favour of the dependence of the Gospel of Thomas on the Synoptic Gospels. Their shared emphasis on Thomas as a second-century text drawing on Synoptic tradition does, nevertheless, raise wider questions about the author’s aims and the purpose of the text, whose series of sayings were probably intended as a medium to unlock the secrets to eternal life. A redaction-critical approach to Thomas can also open up a whole new field of questions about its setting and transmission history. |
