Lectures on the Gospel of Thomas

LECTURES ON THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS in Fort Wayne, Texas:

Conference examines Gospel of Thomas

Rosa Salter Rodriguez | The Journal Gazette

In a time when the Christian message seems split among members of different cultures, denominations, generations, genders and sexual orientations, it might behoove Christians to look back at the first couple of centuries after Jesus.

That’s the view of Milton C. Moreland, Rhodes College biblical scholar and archeologist, who will be in the city Friday and Saturday as part of a conference sponsored by The Jesus Seminar, a contentious group that revisits Christian ideas about Jesus.

Moreland will speak during “The Fifth Gospel: The Gospel of Thomas and the Wisdom of Jesus,” which begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Unitarian-Universalist Congregation of Fort Wayne.

The event, which also features co-presenter Rubén René Dupertuis, assistant professor of religion at Trinity University in San Antonio, continues from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
