Nicholas Perrin argues that the Gospel derives not from the era of Jesus or even the apostles but from the late second century CE. Further, contrary to what many scholars believe, he maintains that the Gospel was originally written in Syriac rather than in Greek, and he concludes that the real value of the \u003ci\u003eGospel of Thomas\u003c\/i\u003e lies not in what it might be thought to say about the real Jesus but in what it tells us about early Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Perrin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.72w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664232115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerrin, Nicholas:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eNicholas Perrin\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College Graduate School in Wheaton, Illinois.
