M. M. NINAN FOREWORD ACTS OF THOMAS 1 GOSPEL OF THOMAS 145 INFANCY GOSPEL OF THOMAS THE ISRAELITE 187 BOOK OF THOMAS THE CONTENDER 207 APOCALYPSE OF THOMAS 218
M. M. NINAN FOREWORD This book is simply an attempt to look into the various apocryphal literature commonly associated with Apostle Thomas. These are all apocryphal in the sense that they are not part of the Christian Canon. I would not like to see any writing which falls out of period of the Apostles as part of the Canon of Faith simply because our faith is based on the first hand witness of the Apostles. The last Apostle to die was Apostle John in AD 100. Thus all writings which fall after that period will be non-canonical and hence apocryphal even if they were orally existing during the Apostolic period. Most of the Thomasian literature of the early period comes from Syria centered around Edessa. Syria was also the center of Gnostic cults which took root also within the Christian circles. The developments initially were well meant and were simply spiritual statements of people. Thus apocryphal writings of “Thomas” therefore includes both orthodox writings along with Gnostic writings. As a Thomas Christian in my journey to study Thomas, I have included both the Orthodox and Gnostic writings to assess what they try to tell us.
