The Apocalypse of Thomas

Complete Edition

The Apocalypse of Thomas describes the final seven days before the end of the world in extraordinary sequential detail: the signs that will appear on each day, from the first thunder that shakes all creation to the day when the stars fall and the sky rolls back like a scroll. Jesus delivers this teaching to Thomas privately, as a final gift of knowledge.
