Reviews
This is a monograph with an edge ... The author is to be commended for marshalling the evidence in a way that lends some support to the ideas being articulated. * The Expository Times * What I find most attractive is Thomaskutty's interdisciplinary methodology. It is both revolutionary and refreshing. He examines the four selected texts [The Gospel of Thomas, The Book of Thomas, The Acts of Thomas, and The Infancy Gospel of Thomas] using textual criticism, biblical criticism, narrative criticism, and theological reflections. * James H. Charlesworth, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA * Prof. Thomaskutty offers a comprehensive assessment of the evidence for the Apostle Thomas within the New Testament, in early Christian literature, and in the traditions of the Church, particularly the church in India, which has long venerated the Apostle Thomas as its founder. Thoroughly researched and carefully argued, Prof. Thomaskutty's treatment will be a valuable resource to scholars of the early church and to anyone interested in the development of apostolic traditions outside the western sphere. * Harold W. Attridge, Yale Divinity School, USA * Based on careful reading of all the ancient primary sources and attention to the traditions of India, Prof. Thomaskutty has succeeded in bringing the Apostle Thomas to life, in all his complexity. Anyone interested in the Apostle Thomas `the Twin' would do well to start here. * Charles M. Stang, Harvard Divinity School, USA *

I find most attractive Thomaskutty's interdisciplinary methodology. It is both revolutionary and refreshing. He examines the four selected texts [such as The Gospel of Thomas, The Book of Thomas, The Acts of Thomas, and The Infancy Gospel of Thomas] using textual criticism, biblical criticism, narrative criticism, and theological reflections. He is well read and knows the strengths of the leading scholars. His review includes the so-called canonical texts, the apocryphal compositions, and historical traditions in both collections. * James H.
