The reader will ask: “Why is another commentary on the Gospel of Thomas needed?” The answer is simple - the author is not satisfied with most of the existing ones. Almost all of them proceed from the premise that true understanding is achieved by looking at the text of Thomas through the prism of other texts. And here there are two main approaches: someone looks at Thomas through the biblical canon, someone through the texts of other cultures and religions. But the words of Jesus do not come from a dialogue of cultures, although they sometimes enter into it. They are witnesses of a life unknown to either society or the individual. The commentary that this book contains is precisely the experience of reading the words of Jesus from the perspective of the life revealed by Himself, which everyone born again knows firsthand.
