Abstract

"New are the mystical insights into his secret teaching revealed especially by the Gospel of Thomas, which may also be interpreted, like the Bible itself, in the light of speculations about extra-terrestrial and supra-terrestrial beings and their interaction with humanity and its development over the millennia." "To link all these seemingly disparate strands would appear to be no easy matter, but the author's wide reading and ability to make connections enable him to produce a synthesis that is a useful contribution to the modern religious debate, as well as a worthwhile intellectual and spiritual journey of exploration."--BOOK JACKET.
