About this ebook

In 1945, twelve ancient books were found inside a sealed jar near Nag Hammadi, Egypt. One of those Gnostic tractates buried in the sand was the Gospel of Thomas, one of the jewels of universal spiritual literature which is considered by some scholars as the fifth Gospel. It is an anthology of 114 logia, or sayings, attributed to Jesus and collected by Jude Thomas, his brother. It is the earliest extant collection of sayings from the Galilean. This chance discovery by an Egyptian peasant raises the question whether the New Testament’s version of Jesus’ teachings is accurate and complete.

In Thomas’ work, no mention is made of his crucifixion, resurrection and miracles. This manuscript portrays Jesus a sage rather than a messiah and contains his lost mystical teachings.

The raison d’être of this collection of sayings has puzzled scholars since its discovery. The author gives the keys to decipher the Gospel of Thomas and reveals its secret.

This ancient manuscript reminds us that the Divine is within us and that the Kingdom of God is here and now. Moreover, this collection of sayings makes sense only within the context of non-duality, known in India as Advaita Vedanta. This fascinating book takes the reader on a seven-stage journey ((the seven provinces of the Kingdom)) to fulness and spiritual awakening.

This book includes a new translation of the Gospel of Thomas in common English and a full commentary of the 114 logia. It is a book both for scholars and general public.

The Gospel of Thomas is a guidebook for spiritual practice. It can transform your life as it did for many readers already.
