Our seminarians and I got talking about \u00c2\u00a0different translations of the Gospel of Thomas (GoT). I realized I own about twenty different GoT’s. There are so many cool commentaries and several powerhouse translations-with-commentaries! \u00c2\u00a0My faves are Tau Malachi, Jean-Yves Leloup, and Miller’s newish one. I have Elaine Pagel’s, the only GoT commentary by a woman, as far as I know. [UPDATE: Oops, forgot April DeConick’s GoT translation-and-commentary, see comments below…]<\/p>\n

Here’s a list on Amazon of all the many Gospel of Thomas translations<\/a> available. I own about every other one of these…<laugh>\u00c2\u00a0It has turned into a “collection”.<\/p>\n

But you know a favorite I must mention doesn’t even have GoT in the title, yet is indeed Thomas with short pithy zen commentaries on each verse. ‘Tis a little hardback book, slightly bigger than pocket-size. I love it. \u00c2\u00a0It’s called Christian Zen: The Essential Teachings of Jesus Christ<\/a> by [Sophiologist] Robert Powell.
