The Gospel of Thomas
"These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote them down."
This app contains the full text of Mark M. Mattison's public domain translation of The Gospel of Thomas as published on Gospels.Net. The Gospel of Thomas is an early Christian era non-canonical document containing a list of 114 sayings and parables attributed to Jesus in a non-narrative form. Many scholars argue that the core of the document dates back to the earliest era of Christianity, 50-100 CE, and thus that it offers important insights into the earliest history of Christianity.
The app offers the user the ability to randomly select an individual saying for contemplation, as well as the ability to choose an individual saying by title, to search the full text of the document for sayings containing a particular word, and of course view the full text of the document.
Much more information about The Gospel of Thomas and the Thomasine Christian tradition can be found at the Gnosis Archive in the Gnostic Society Library's "The Gospel of Thomas Collection" - http://gnosis.org/naghamm/nhl_thomas.htm

Nice, but it's not very user-friendly in its UI. I don't want random sayings from the book, I want to read it for myself-- in its whole entirety, not broken up in separated chapters or sections, which seems typical of all of these apps involving this particular document...
Thanks for this apps..eventhough it's so deep the sayings or parables; i know someday that the higher will give us or show all the meaning of it's sentences.
Love the lost books. It is all the books that we are suppose to read, to get the knowledge about the Kingdom of God.
Grt app. And thanks for bringing this out, at least it fortifies our true identity with source(God) and who we truly are as His extension. Once again I say big up to you. You deserve 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.
Nice translation & presentation. Text is a bit small.
Thanks for this great app because the bible has been changed and took this great information out in 325AD
Jesus was indeed a Muslim (One who fully submits to Allah).
To small of print
it's a good scripture
Good information s
Thank you! God Bless
for christians, the gospel of thomas is shrouded with mystery, controversy and misinformation. unlike the other documents that derived from the nag hammadi library, the gospel of thomas is certainly not gnostic because it contains many parables that are found in luke, mark and matthew. also, it is interesting to note that the gospel of thomas teaches that a spark of the divine is within all of us. according to scholars, this is not exotic becuz it is also taught in the other canonoical gospels
Lovely app. Wish there was a way to change the font though, it's kinda small.
This is gold. Thank you for the app.
It freezes
Love it....
Love it
A very nice simple and easy app tò use without large distracting ads. Only a couple of things would improve this and make it a even better and stronger app. Cross references to verses in bible with hot links, and references to Strings Concordance. I realize this would greatly increase the app size so perhaps having two versions of this app may be a good idea. Since some have already mentioned changing font size and you informing you are working on that, I merely mention it again as a friendly reminder. But while your at this any way, please consider night mode too. Thank you for a very thoughtful app. Even as is, its easy to give it 4 stars.
