Description

Thomas and Tatian: The Relationship between the Gospel of Thomas and the Diatessaron, by Nicholas Perrin. SBLAB 5. Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2002. Pp.xii + 216. $29.95. Nicholas Perrin's monograph Thomas and Tatian represents a revised version of his Ph.D. dissertation completed at Marquette University under the guidance of Julian Hills. As should be clear from the title, Perrin's work has been inspired by Gilles Quispel's similarly titled monograph, Tatian and the Gospel of Thomas (Leiden: Brill, 1975), a fact that Perrin himself asserts in his preface. But unlike the earlier work, Perrin's monograph seems to me to be seriously mistitled for reasons that will become evident toward the end of this review.
