AB The argument that the Gospel of Thomas is or is not independent of the canon has often turned on the issue of whether or not there are visible in the text of Thomas words or phrases that arose in the redactional efforts of the individual evangelists. If specific Lukan or Matthean redactional traits of a saying, for example, are present in the text of Thomas, then, the argument runs, the Gospel of Thomas must have post-dated and been derived from that author and work and not from some independent tradition. The argument has not yet been made, so far as I am aware, for influence in the other direction, that sayings of the community that produced the Gospel of Thomas have influenced the text of the Synoptic Gospels. The method used in this study is the same: where Thomas redaction is found in the text of Luke, then the text of Luke must post-date and be dependent on sayings formed in Thomas Christianity.
