Series: Gnostic Gospel Series

Of all the ""lost"" gospels of the early Christian Bible, the Gospel of St. Thomas is the most well known. According to Tau Malachi, each verse of this Holy Scripture is like an ""endless well of Wisdom."" Drawing upon the Holy Kabbalah, contemporary Christian thought, and wisdom of the gnostic tradition, Malachi guides the reader into a true gnostic experience-a first-hand and completely unique exploration of the sacred secrets and spiritual insights in this important gnostic text.

Both intuitive and interactive, the gnostic approach to faith is a sacred quest for greater knowledge, understanding, and wisdom—a deeper penetration of the Mystery. This path leads to a higher degree of the enlightenment experience, or gnosis. The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas reveals how the reader can use each verse in this scripture as a source of daily contemplation and spiritual growth, while exploring the secrets of resurrection and ascension, the true role of St. Mary Magdalene in the early church, and other mystical and magical teachings.

Reviews for The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas: Meditations on the Mystical Teachings

Malachi perfectly captures the oral tradition within the written word.--Publishers Weekly Malachi suggests the need for a 'new gospel, a gospel of the Cosmic Christ'--a Christ inherent in every person, not the crucified-risen Christ revered by the church--and proceeds to give three-to-five page 'meditations' on each of the 114 sayings in Thomas, weaving in teachings from the Kabbalah and other mystical traditions.--The Washington Post An intriguing book, worth your time and interest. For those interested in Gnostic Christianity, this is a fine reference book. Well-written.--Ghostvillage.com, Universal Gnostic Church The Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas offers a fresh perspective into the secrets of Christ's resurrection, the true role of St. Mary Magdalene in the early church, and more, as it examines each verse in the scripture as a means for daily spiritual contemplation. A complex yet devotional analysis.--The Bookwatch
