Review Quotes:

'Valantasis has written the best commentary on the - Gospel of Thomas that has ever been written and it is hard to imagine that a better internally referential one could be written.' 'Can be strongly recommended to any reader interested in the development of early Chrstianity.' - Network 'It is pleasant when one picks up a book on an early Christian document and soon afterwards can say: "This is the book I have been waiting for to recommend to my students". Such is my reaction to this book ... The syle in which Valantasis writes is clear and concise ... a good and useful work that deserves praise ...' - Thomas O'Loughlin, Heythrop Journal
