Bertil Edgar Gärtner [1924-2009] was a Swedish Lutheran bishop of Gothenburg, and professor of New Testament exegesis at Princeton Theological Seminary. Gartner also wrote The Temple and the Community in Qumran and the New Testament: A Comparative Study in the Temple Symbolism of the Qumran Texts and the New Testament. The work offered here is a standard work on the Gospel of Thomas by a world class scholar. "The author's aim is not primarily to trace the origin of the individual sayings but to relate them to the ideas of their time, notably to those of the Gnostics, and to extract a coherent system of theology from this apparently haphazard collection."
