Free The Gospel Of Thomas, With The Acts Of Thomas, And The Book Of Thomas The Contender Ebooks Online
‘The Gospel of Thomas’ is a non-canonical gospel consisting of 114 sayings of Jesus; it may well have been written in the first century, which would make the document earlier than the four gospels of the Bible. It is generally considered to be Gnostic in orientation (and was declared heretical in the second century) but it allows the reader an unparalleled opportunity to partake of an independent tradition concerning Jesus. ‘The Acts of Thomas’ claims to be an historical account of the eponymous Saint’s evangelizing journey to India and his adventures there. St. Thomas was martyred in Western India at the Indus Valley in present-day Pakistan.‘The Book of Thomas the Contender’ in part of the Nag Hammadi Library (as is the Gospel of Thomas), unearthed in Egypt in December 1945. It’s content is overtly Gnostic, with the body considered a ‘prison’ of the soul, and secret knowledge from Jesus (rather than His atoning death on the cross) regarded as the road to spiritual enlightenment.

This book is the only Kindle book I could find which contains the Book of Thomas the Contender. (Perhaps there is another, but I didn't find anything except a Gnostic text not available in a Kindle edition.) The book is easy to navigate and well worth $2.99. Well done!
I bought this book out of curiosity, and delightfully discovered a treasure trove of wisdom and enlightenment. Quite an amazing discovery!
An excellent series of books
