The Book of Thomas
Virtually a complete text. Post-resurrection dialogue between Jesus and Judas surnamed Thomas.
States Jesus true companion, brother Judas Thomas. Beloved Disciple. Directed at the ascetic, impure and lost masses. Seems to condemn anything flesh and sexuality.
Envices [reveal presence] metaphysical and ethical dualism. It does not shift to the myth o creation of the world through error but the dualism of body versus soul.
Fire of sexual passion versus tranquility of wisdom.
Post the dialogue with Thomas a long dialogue of Jesus alone.
