There is already a formidable amount of literature on the subject, most of which tries to establish direct literary dependence between the two books or the use of common sources (see DeConick 2001). The present essay, however, will explore the connection between these two texts on the community level rather than the source level. The Fourth Gospel (FG) and the Gospel of Thomas (Gos. Thorn.), like other religious texts, address the particular needs of their respective communities and express special theological and soteriological positions. As community documents, each has its own Sitz im Leben: its own geographical location, its own community history, and its own religious traditions. Moreover, like other religious texts, both were written with the express purposes of polemicizing, persuading, and propagating a particular belief system.Item Mysticism and the Gospel of Thomas(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2008) DeConick, April D.; Frey, JӧrgItem Occulture in the Academy?

The text should not be seen as representing some Gnostic or marginal sapiential form of Christianity, rather it reflects a trajectory in “orthodox” Christianity that valued mystical or esoteric teaching. Such traditions have been found in mainstream Christianity throughout its history. The text of the Gospel of Thomas is understood to be a rolling corpus, or aggregate of sayings that represent different moments in the life and history of the early Thomasine community.Item The Yoke Saying in the "Gospel of Thomas 90"(Brill, 1990-09) DeConick, April D.Item The True Mysteries: Sacramentalism in the "Gospel of Philip"(Brill, 2001) DeConick, April D.Item What is Early Jewish and Christian Mysticism?(Society of Biblical Literature, 2006) DeConick, April D.; DeConick, April D.Item Who is Hiding in the Gospel of John?
