	The Gospel according to Thomas—or the '''Gospel of Thomas''' as it is commonly called—is a collection of wisdom sayings, proverbs, parables and prophecies of [[Jesus]] along the lines of the Wisdom literature of late Judaism, such as Ecclesiastes and Proverbs. Such collections were common in Greek culture and among the peoples of the Middle East. The Gospel of Thomas does not include any biographical narrative about Jesus but portrays him as the voice of divine Wisdom revealing herself to man.
