Review title: treats gospel of Thomas as authoritative
Product review: The Gnostic gospel of Thomas is not in Protestant Bibles and is not in the Canon of Sacred Scripture established by the Roman Catholic Church. It is not even considered a good second tier historical writing because it includes Gnostic type sayings that are not consistent with Jesus.Yet, Craig Evans includes the Gospel of Thomas version of the parable of the wicked tenants (on page 217) and implies that it is more reliable (authentic) than the version in Mark 12 that he is commenting on.
