This is just a start for an entirely new entry -- it is heavily adapted from a version which, some time ago, I wrote for the (since greatly discredited) Conservapedia under the pseudonym "Boethius", but I hope it can find a far more congenial home here. Russell Potter 21:02, 29 April 2007 (CDT)

How about a link to the text? --Larry Sanger 13:20, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
Would be great, to do, but the only online "translations" I know of are at least loosely based on the copyrighted edition. I'll look about anew. Russell Potter 14:17, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
I believe you might be thinking of the Gospel of Judas where the copyrighted version has generated some controversy. I have added a link to the "Early Christian Writings" web site section on Thomas which has a wealth of on-line material on the Gospel of Thomas. James F. Perry 18:44, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
No, actually -- though I have copies of nearly all the Gnostic gospels in various editions -- but thanks for the link, this looks like an independent translation, just what we needed! What I had meant earlier was sites such as this one, which is largely a paraphrase of translation given in the Harper & Row hardcover edition of 1959. Russell Potter 22:41, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
