This commentary is opened by a study offering information about all aspects of the Gospel of Thomas, especially about its relation to other texts of early Christian literature, including the canonical Gospels. The successive commentary is based upon the Coptic version and discusses also all fragments of the original Greek text. The volume is divided into two parts: The first discusses the function of each logion (saying) within the frame of piety and theology of the Thomasine group, for which the Gospel is composed; The second part discusses its literary shape and its history, including its re

Nearly a half century after her death in 1972, Mahalia Jackson remains the most esteemed figure in black gospel music history. Born in 1911 and raised in the backstreets of New Orleans, Jackson joined the Great Migration to Chicago during the Great Depression, where she became a highly regarded church singer. By the mid-1950s, she was a coveted recording artist for Apollo and Columbia Records, lauded as the "World's Greatest Gospel Singer." The "Louisiana Cinderella" narrative of Jackson's career carried important meaning for African Americans, yet it remains a story only half-told. Gospel's first multimediated artist, she had a nationally broadcast radio program and a Chicago-based television show. Her early recordings introduced straight-out-of-the-church black gospel to American and European audiences, while also tapping the vogue for religious pop during the early Cold War. In some ways, Jackson's successes made her an exceptional case, though she is perhaps best understood as part of broader developments in the black gospel field. Built upon foundations laid by pioneering Chicago organizers in the 1930s, black gospel singing, with Jackson as its most visible representative, began to circulate in novel ways as a form of popular culture in the 12940s and 1950s. Its practitioners accrued prestige not only through devout integrity, but also from their charismatic artistry, public recognition, and pop-culture cachet. These years also saw shifting strategies in the black freedom struggle that gave new cultural-political significance to African American vernacular culture. The first book on Jackson in twenty-five years, Mahalia Jackson and the Black Gospel Field draws on a trove of previously unexamined archival sources. Author Mark Burford illuminates Jackson's childhood in New Orleans, and her negotiation of parallel careers as both a singing Baptist evangelist and a mass media entertainer. The book documents the unfolding material and symbolic influence of Jackson and black gospel music in postwar American society--Back cover.

The Gospel of Judas presents a new view of Jesus, his disciples, and the man who allegedly betrayed him. It raises many questions and Ehrman provides authoritative answers, in a book that will interest anyone curious about the New Testament, the life of Jesus, and the history of Christianity after his death.

This book uncovers an early collection of sayings, called N, that are ascribed to Jesus and are similar to those found in the Gospel of Thomas and in Q, a document believed to be a common source, with Mark, for Matthew and Luke. In the process, the book sheds light on the literary methods of Mark and Thomas. A literary comparison of the texts of the sayings of Jesus that appear in both Mark and Thomas shows that each adapted an earlier collection for his own purpose. Neither Mark nor Thomas consistently gives the original or earliest form of the shared sayings; hence, Horman states, each used and adapted an earlier source. Close verbal parallels between the versions in Mark and Thomas show that the source was written in Greek. Horman's conclusion is that this common source is N. This proposal is new, and has implications for life of Jesus research. Previous research on sayings attributed to Jesus has treated Thomas in one of two ways: either as an independent stream of Jesus sayings written without knowledge of the New Testament Gospels and or as a later piece of pseudo-Scripture that uses the New Testament as source. This book rejects both views.

"This work is by no means an exhaustively detailed study of gospel music in Chicago. Its intent is to chronicle the development of Chicago gospel music during its first five decades, from pioneers such Thomas Dorsey and Sallie Martin to the start of the contemporary gospel era of the 1970s, when the focus shifted from Chicago to California"--Introduction (page 7).
