O Evangelho de Tomé: um conhecimento inspirador sobre o olhar das Ciências das Religiões

Abstract

Our work aims to study the Gospel of Tomé, which is part of the Coptic Library of Nag Hammadi, to bring some of the reasons why this text did not enter the biblical canon. Our work will be developed from the theoretical research under the hypothetical- deductive method, because the scientific research proposes to present a possible solution to the problem outlined, based on the bibliographic evolution done during the project. Therefore, the methodology of the work will be developed in the historical-descriptive modality at first, for later we will undertake a comparison and analysis of our research object, providing a clarification not only for scientific community, but for all those who wish to study Christianity, a since the texts found in Nag Hammadi provide an important insight into the history of Christianity, especially the Gospel of Thomas.
