This commentary on The Gospel of Thomas originally appeared—in a much-truncated form—between and November of 2003 and March of 2005 on the “Fantastic Planet” weblog. Composed as an attempt to provide a cohesive collection of thoughts and meditations on that most prevalent of Gnostic scriptures I wanted to produce something that would be useful instead of merely interesting something that addressed modern concerns within a Gnostic context by a Gnostic for people interested in Gnosticism.
