Synopsis
The story of the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas is combined with an annotated translation of the text. Each saying is explained in terms of its historical and spiritual importance. The image of Jesus that emerges is different from the figure portrayed in the New Testament. Thomas describes Jesus as a wide man with Zen-like vie of the world.
