By Ben Witherington III

The Gospel of Thomas

Does it contain authentic sayings of Jesus?
By Helmut KoesterStephen J. Patterson
028 Scholars have long theorized that collections of Jesus’ sayings circulated in the decades following his death and that therefore they would be among the earliest witnesses to his message. Modern critical scholars have even been able to...

Q

The lost gospel
By Stephen J. Patterson
034 The Lost Gospel. The very concept provokes a flood of questions. If it is lost, how do we know it ever existed? How do we know what was in it? Who lost it? And how was it lost? Perhaps most intriguing of all: Will it ever be found? A new book...
