How do we integrate the Gospel of Thomas and other Nag Hammadi texts into our
Christian experience?
Dear J.,
I am not a scholar in this area, but my limited study convinces
me that these works in various ways are based on other models than the
Trinitarian Theism of the New Testament. That is why they will not integrate
into Christian experience. This seems to be why they were excluded from the
canon (see CANON under Word Thoughts) of our Christian Bible. You might find
it useful to read God of Many Names which is also posted on this website.
Bob.
