In Seek to See Him April DeConick argues that the Gospel of Thomas ,contrary to the way Thomas is normally understood,does not originate fromgnostic traditions.Instead, she proposesthat Thomas is best explained by Hermeticand Second Temple Jewish mystical traditions. DeConick substantiates her proposal by first examining the developmental stages of the Gospel of Thomas , questioning the classification of Thomas as gnostic on the basis of Thomas ' dualism andhisspeculation about original sin.DeConick carefully delineatesthe difference between Thomas ' and gnosticviews of the world and of salvationbeforegoing on to demonstratethecrucialrole of purification, heavenly ascent,and visio dei afinal transformation through an experience of seeing Godain this Gospel.In the end, DeConick shows that Thomas is best explainedas arising from the fusion of Jewish Mysticism and Hermetic praxis and not as being shaped by gnostic traditions.

The real value of Seek to See Him lies in the fact that DeConick introduces into the discussion of the Gospel of Thomas a set of texts and traditions that has been neglected but should be taken seriously in the interpretation of Thomas. --Marvin Meyer "Journal of Biblical Literature" DeConick offers a serious alternative to the common classification of the Gospel of Thomas as Gnostic and provides a helpful, needed exposition of the role of ascent and the visio Dei in Thomas' anthropogony and soteriology. --D. Jeffrey Bingham "Journal of Early Christian Studies"
