Jesus' true teachings are probably best preserved in the ancient Gospel of Thomas, most likely dating to 50 CE but suppressed for centuries until found again in a cave in Egypt in 1945. Here Jesus speaks not as a Christian Messiah but as an Eastern sage, offering timeless wisdom in cryptic paradoxical language and drawing on classical and Jewish ideas and images.
