Thomas and Tatian: The Relationship Between the Gospel of Thomas and the Diatessaron
A researcher in theology at Westminster Abbey, London, Perrin offers innovative perspectives on the relationship between the Coptic gospel and the Syriac work. Among his propositions are that Thomas was originally composed in Syriac, that its author knew and used Tatian, and that the gospels as a collection can be dated to about 175-190 C.E. He has not indexed his study. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
