The Message of Gospel Of Thomas: Resonances with Jewish Tradition
Elaine Pagels, Princeton University
This talk engages the secret Gospel Of Thomas, discovered in 1945 in
Upper Egypt, which consists of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus of
Nazareth.
While most scholarly research has focused on half of these sayings
long familiar from New Testament parallels, here we focus instead on
the others - more than fifty "secret sayings" - all previously
unknown, and the questions they are raising for scholarly discussion.
Did Jesus of Nazareth, like other first century rabbis, offer secret
teaching? How do the "secret sayings" in Gospel Of Thomas, which offer
exegetical interpretation of Genesis 1, resonate with esoteric Jewish
traditions that may date back as early as the second century C.E., and
also, perhaps with kabbalistic traditions articulated more than a
millennium later?
