Thomas and the synoptics. gaby robles

The gospel of thomas, some scholars debate whether it is considered a form of christianity that is early and independent of that preserved,say, in the synoptic gospels or whether it represents a later development of christianity, based in part on the teachings of jesus found in the synoptics but modified in light of gnostic belief. The gospel of thomas is growing in acceptance among liberal theologians. it includes many sayings of jesus that are not found in the four canonical gospels. some theologians believe that it was first written about 60 CE and later expanded. it was written in greek. three greek fragments from the gospel were found about 1900 CE. basically people dont know whether they should include the gospel of thomas as a gospel because of these reasons.
