where was the infancy gospel of thomas found
Infancy Gospel of Thomas The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is thought to be Gnostic in origin. The oldest known copy (discovered with the Nag Hammadi) was written in Coptic, not Greek as would have been expected of an authentic apocryphal text or "lost gospel". Later references (by Hippolytus of Rome and Origen of Alexandria) to a "Gospel of Thomas", are more likely to be referring to this Infancy Gospel, than to the wholly different Gospel of Thomas with which it is sometimes confused.
