Gathercole's long-awaited book on Thomas

Today is the official publication date of fellow blogger Simon Gathercole's book: 'The Composition of the Gospel of Thomas'. I even received a phone call from an excited friend just to inform me that he had sighted the book in the CUP bookshop in the centre of Cambridge. So it's officially out.

Buy your copy here.

This book represents a major challenge to those who maintain that Thomas has early, pre-synoptic material, or that it has independent access to Aramaic traditions.

Not quite TC, but interesting anyway.

Mark Goodacre's book, which argues for the dependence of Thomas on the Synoptics should be out within a few months, too. Bad year for some historical Jesus people :)

The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.
