Where to start with this tome?

Gospel of thomas is literally the only thing worth reading in it.

Nah I'm an esoteric chinese trad folk religion practitioner/daoist.
Christianity is stupid but the gospel of thomas is the the most worthy western religious book.

Hmm I just figured you were Orthodox because some Orthodox like the idea of canonizing the Gospel of Thomas since it doesn't shake things up too much but centers around mysticism.

>>9903947
Actually that sounds very fitting when I think about it.
Is there any precedent for that?
Or did you just realise that then?

>>9903972
Nah its mostly something I noticed on the internet

>>9903893
thomas, then phillip - those can lead you gradually away from the canon

>>9903932
Gospel of Philip is better

It's a little hard to approach on it's own. Imagine the bible if you didn't have the general cultural contexts and heavy commentary that generally accompanies it. I'd recommend getting The Gnostics by Brakke as an academic but not esoteric intro to what to expect.

I'm already pretty well familiarized with early christian sects
