Up until this publication, no one was able to determine the chapter, paragraph, and stanza breaks for The Gospel of Thomas. Also, no one found a way to discern the author's meaning for his key metaphors. Dr. North has done those things. Further, Dr. North has provided the evidence that Jesus was the author. He was teaching people to leave dogma-based religions and develop a personal relationship with Spirit. Overview: This Professional Edition includes: - The history of the book's discovery.- An explanation of each of the 125 wisdom poems.- A synopsis of Jesus' core message.A Review by Norman J Betz, Ph.D., Prof. Emeritus, English; University of Central Missouri: Robert North's book is in the tradition of those who argue against a literal reading of scripture, in fact inviting us to read The Gospel of Thomas as wisdom poems full of ancient metaphors. His major claim is that he has discovered a new, Semitic pattern to The Gospel of Thomas. I appreciated the way he arranged the verses of Thomas like poetry, forcing me to slow down and look with new eyes at a familiar text.
