Description: Holy Terror : Jesus in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, Paperback by Cousland, J. R. C.; Keith, Chris (EDT), ISBN 0567688801, ISBN-13 9780567688804, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Infancy Gospel of Thomas (or Paidika) is one of the most unusual gospels in the Christian tradition. Instead of revealing the compassionate Jesus so familiar to us from the biblical Gospels, it confronts its readers with a very different Jesus – a child who sometimes acts like a holy terror, killing and harming others for trifling faults. So why is Jesus portrayed as acting in such an unchristian fashion? To address this question, Cousland focuses on three interconnected representations of Jesus in the Paidika: Jesus as holy terror, as child, and as miracle-working saviour. Cousland endeavours to show that, despite the differing character of these three roles, they present a unified picture. Jesus unusual behaviour arises from his growing pains as a developing child, who is at the same time both human and divine. Couslands volume is the first detailed examination of the Christology of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and provides a fresh and engaging approach to a topic not often discussed in representations of Jesus.
