Written in Coptic, an old Egyptian language, one of them turned out to be a lost gospel containing the words of Jesus, the so-called Gospel of Thomas. A young Dane, Soren Giverson, was the first scholar to examine them in 1957. He dedicated his life to their study. The opening words of the manuscript, which dates from 340-343, reads "These are the hidden sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Judas Thomas the Twin recorded." The twenty-two pages contain one hundred fourteen parables ascribed to Jesus and differs from the four other Gospels in that it is directed to his intimate disciples and not to a larger audience. Filmed against the stark desert landscape, the documentary brings out the simplicity and mystery of the parables, as well as the zeal that went into tracing their origins. 001356372 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001356372 546__ $$aDanish, subtitles in English. 001356372 63000 $$aGospel of Thomas (Coptic Gospel) 001356372 653_0 $$aReligion 001356372 655_0 $$aDocumentary. 001356372 7102_ $$aCasablanca Filmworks. 001356372 85640 $$zAccess restricted to subscribers.$$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1655030 001356372 901__ $$aASP1655030/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25644$$tbiblio 001356372 905__ $$uadmin 001356372 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356372$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356372 944__ $$a1785378$$z1003832012 001356372 945__ $$aNorth America$$cMiddle East 001356372 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356372 980__ $$aBIB 001356372 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356372 983__ $$aOnline
