Apocalypse of Thomas

Encyclopedia : A : AP : APO : Apocalypse of Thomas


The Apocalypse of Thomas (i.e. vision) is a work from the New Testament apocrypha, apparently composed originally in Latin.

The vision concerns the end of the world, and appears to be a rendering of the Apocalypse of John, though written in a somewhat less enigmatic or mystical manner.

There are two known versions of the text, one short and one long. The longer version appears merely to have prefixed a 5th century interpolation onto the shorter version.
