The Gospel of Thomas -- found in 1945 -- has been described as "without question the most significant Christian book discovered in modern times." Often Thomas is seen as a special independent witness to the earliest phase of Christianity and as evidence for the now-popular view that this earliest phase was a dynamic time of great variety and diversity.
In contrast, Mark Goodacre makes the case that, instead of being an early, independent source, Thomas actually draws on the Synoptic Gospels as source material -- not to provide a clear narrative, but to assemble an enigmatic collection of mysterious, pithy sayings to unnerve and affect the reader. Goodacre supports his argument with illuminating analyses and careful comparisons of Thomas with Matthew and Luke.

Dr Goodacre stands head and shoulders above almost all guests on this channel. The more I see of him, the better. But David Oliver Smith or Tom Dykstra speaking on Mark's adaptation of material from epistles would be a good complement.
-
This is an old fellow talking here, been studying for years my background is medicine, you are an up and coming star. Also I'm a massive fan of Mark Goodacre he is an absolute gem.
-
Goodacre is an excellent guest. Please invite him back.
-
brilliant I thought I was in for a long video. then I was disappointed when it ended. thanks to you both. more please 🙏😉
-
Almost as if Josh reads my mind! For the longest time, I've been wishing to either have free time to read, or have an opportunity to hear more about Goodacre's arguments for familiarity with the synoptics—from the same methodology based on which he rejects the existence of Q
-
The missing middle makes Thomas sound like a study guide for proselytizers. It sounds like cue cards.
-
I love his channel. Interestingly enough, I was listening to his channel last night.
-
Great questions, Jacob! Well-prepared interview (as always)
-
I will buy really soon .....keep giving us great information thank you.
-
Thanks
-
good interview thanks
-
Please call Dr. April D Deconick.
-
I don't see what Thomas is not Q + time + interpolation from a neoplatonic/gnostic source. It isn't Q, but it's another puzzle piece pointing to it.
-
Elaine Pagels makes a case that Gospel of John knows Gospel of Thomas and is explicitly countering it
-
Could James the Just have written Thomas?
-
This is kind of an old video right? Mark Goodacre hasn't uploaded anything or posted on his blog since September 2023
-
Jacob Berman's channel is one of the greatest on Youtube, but Jesus never existed.
-
The Mythicists in the comments are really starting to get under my skin. They're just an atheist version of an Evangelical apologist.
-
you asked if he created it when it says it’s Jesus’s words in the beginning of the gospel.
