| Summary: | In this fresh and balanced study, Mark Goodacre argues that the Gospel of Thomas was aware of the Synoptic Gospels and creatively employed their traditions in order to ‘authenticate’ its own distinct Christian ideology. Goodacre’s argument is multifaceted and, in making it, he introduces new or overlooked lines of evidence alongside discussion of perennial issues. He builds from verbatim agreements between Thomas and the Synoptics, evidence of Thomas’s awareness of Matthean and Lukan redaction, Thomas’s further redactional habits (such as skipping the middle of a Synoptic pericope), orality and literacy studies, and Thomas’s internal clues about its socio-historical context. |
