i’m not sure how many of you have read the Gospel of Thomas. from my first reading of it, i was struck by a feeling of it’s authenticity and congruence with the the saying of Christ recorded in the gospels. while it may not have been included in the official canon of scripture way back when, i gain much from reading and meditating on it. while i believe it would be wise to give precedence to the 66 books of the established canon, i feel we can faithfully and confidently gain much from reading the many great pieces of inspired writing that exist outside of this. i love reading the teachings of the ancient rabbi’s such as Isaac Luria and others.
