Frankfurt am Main : Peter Lang, 1982. Paperback. 158 pp. 21 cm. (Europ�ische Hochschulschriften. Reihe 23, Theologie. Band 194). - The knowledge of the truth� is an important technical term in the Pastoral Epistles. It represents the basic elements of authentic (orthodox) Christianity - �being Christian� - and plays a major role in their polemic against false teaching. �The knowledge of the truth� also appears in the Coptic Book of Thomas from Nag Hammadi as a technical term representing its basic view of authentically �being Christian�. The �Christian doctrine� of The Book of Thomas has striking similarities to the false teachings the Pastorals attack. It is suggested that The Book of Thomas may be a witness to the continuation, now seen from the heterodox side, of the struggle reflected in the Pastorals' polemic use of �the knowledge of the truth� to represent authentic (orthodox) Christianity.
