Gospel of Thomas: The Gnostic Wisdom of Jesus by Jean-Yves Leloup

The Gospel of Thomas presents Jean-Yves Leloup’s translation and commentary on the collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus. Joseph Rowe translated this English edition from the French, and Jacob Needleman contributes the foreword.

Published by Inner Traditions, it approaches the noncanonical Gospel through a contemplative and Gnostic interpretation. It is a collection of sayings and commentary, not a narrative of Jesus’s life or an uncontested transcript of his speech.
