Thank you so much for the endorsement! It appears I need to "catch up" with y'all so we can discuss the gnostic gospels.

There's not too much catching up to do with Thomas - it's a collection of about 100 or so sayings that are attributed to Jesus, rather than being a narrative account of the life of Jesus as the canonical gospels are. There's a short FAQ about Thomas, including the issue of its gnosticism, and then you can read the text itself, which is really not all that long.

Thomas is a good way to get your feet wet, as it's a sort of "gnostic-lite" approach to things. There's a good online collection of the rest of the Nag Hammadi texts here, if you want to get into the rest of it. I keep meaning to really sit down and go through it all one of these days, but something always manages to come up ;)
