This site explores modern interpretations of the Gospel according to Thomas, an ancient text preserved in a Coptic translation at Nag Hammadi and Greek fragments at Oxyrhynchus. With no particular slant, this commentary gathers together quotations from various scholars in order to elucidate the meaning of the sayings, many of which are rightly described as "obscure."

Site sobre Maria Madalena, criado em 1998, mas reestruturado em abril de 2005. Um bom endereço para se informar sobre a controvertida figura dos evangelhos canônicos e dos escritos apócrifos, especialmente os de tendência gnóstica. Criado por Lesa Bellevie, uma norte-americana
autodidata na área de história e de estudos bíblicos, e que se diz sem ligação com nenhuma Igreja, movimento ou seita.

In April, 2005 the site was re-launched after taking into consideration the kinds of information people have been looking for post-Da Vinci Code and restructured accordingly. Here you find answers to some of your questions about Mary Magdalene. By Lesa Bellevie, USA.
Uma resenha da recente literatura sobre Maria Madalena - literatura esta
que, em muitos casos, se esforça em fazer de Maria Madalena 'o primeiro apóstolo'
de Jesus -, escrita por Birger A. Pearson, membro da Sociedade de Literatura Bíblica (SBL) e
Professor Emérito de Estudos Religiosos da Universidade da Califórnia,
em Santa Bárbara, USA.
A
critical review of the recent literature about Mary Magdalene by Birger A. Pearson,
an SBL member and Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, University of California, Santa
Barbara. The books reviewed are: The Da Vinci Code: A Novel. By Dan Brown. New York: Doubleday, 2003. pp.
454; The Woman Jesus Loved: Mary Magdalene in the Nag Hammadi Library and Related Documents. By Antti Marjanen. NHMS 40. Leiden: Brill, 1996. pp. ix +
261; Mary Magdalene: Beyond the Myth. By Esther de Boer, translated by John Bowden. Harrisburg: Trinity Press International, 1997. pp. xi +
147; The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene: Legends, Apocrypha, and the Christian Testament. By Jane Schaberg. New York: Continuum, 2002. pp.
379; Mary Magdalene, the First Apostle: The Struggle for Authority. By Ann Graham Brock. HTS 51. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2003. pp. xviii + 235.
"In her concluding chapter, Brock expresses the hope that the study of the historical evidence will foster greater appreciation of Mary Magdalene's role as
'the first apostle' (p. 175). Her book, as well as the others reviewed here, shows that this process is now well under
way", says Birger A. Pearson.
O estudo da literatura
apócrifa e pseudepígrafa, uma literatura extrabíblica ou
não-canônica, é muito útil para conhecermos as convicções de
judeus e cristãos pertencentes a grupos variados espalhados pelos mais
diferentes lugares do mundo greco-romano. Neste site encontram-se os
principais textos apócrifos e pseudepígrafos judaicos e cristãos, além
de Padres da Igreja e textos gnósticos de Nag Hammadi, Egito. Do Wesley Center Online, Northwest Nazarene University, Nampa, Idaho, USA.
Apocryphal and
pseudepigraphal literature was apparently intended either to supplement or
supplant existing canonical literature. Many of the apocryphal gospels
offer guesses as to what occurred during the so-called "missing years"
of Jesus' life - during his childhood or after his resurrection. Others
attempt to provide support for later theological convictions -- both
orthodox and heretical. Whether the information found in the apocryphal
literature is factually correct or not is not necessarily important. These
documents give interpreters valuable insight into what some Jews and
Christians believed in various places at different times. Here you find
the main Jewish and Christian apocryphal and pseudepigraphal texts,
Fathers of the Church and Gnostic literature of Nag Hammadi, Egypt. An aid to students and scholars in biblical interpretation including introductions and summaries of many noncanonical works. By the Wesley Center Online, Northwest Nazarene University, Nampa, Idaho.
Textos pseudepígrafos disponíveis online em suas línguas originais - ou
nas mais antigas traduções existentes - e com aparato crítico. O projeto é patrocinado pelo King's University College,
da University of Western Ontario, Canadá.
For some time it has been evident that scholars of early Judaism and early Christianity need better access to the texts of the Pseudepigrapha in their original (or extant) languages and with a critical apparatus. In many cases critical editions are prohibitively expensive or out of print, and scholars without access to a large library have been hard pressed to find them. The Online Critical Pseudepigrapha is intended to address this problem by publishing on-line, free-access critical texts of the Pseudepigrapha which are up-to-date and academically rigorous. Sponsor: King's University College, at The University of Western Ontario, Canada.

sentenças de Jesus. Um dos mais importantes manuscritos pseudepígrafos
do NT entre todos os até hoje encontrados. Pertence ao grupo das cerca de
1200 folhas de papiro de Nag Hammadi, no Egito, descobertas a partir de 1945. Neste

The Gospel of Thomas is a
collection of sayings attributed to Jesus of Nazareth. Unless it is merely
a collection of materials that mainly were drawn out of the Biblical
gospels, as seems unlikely for most if not all of Thomas' sayings, then
Thomas is the most important historical source for knowledge of Jesus of
Nazareth that exists outside of the Bible. It is the most significant
manuscript ever found for the history of earliest Christianity. The site
is maintained by Stevan Davies.
