Editing Logia (section)

==Gospel of Thomas==
The 19th century saw a consensus gather around the [[two-source hypothesis]], positing a hypothetical collection of sayings, along with a growing use of the term ''logia''—whatever Papias had actually meant by it—to refer to such a collection of sayings of Jesus. It was in this context that the first fragments of the [[Gospel of Thomas]] were discovered by [[Bernard Pyne Grenfell|Grenfell]] and [[Arthur Surridge Hunt|Hunt]] in 1897,<ref>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Logia |volume=16 |page=878 |first=Herbert Tom |last=Andrews}}</ref> containing otherwise-unknown sayings of Jesus. Although the term ''logia'' does not occur in the papyri in any form, the editors saw this discovery as an example of the very sort of ''logia'' hypothesized and accordingly titled their publication ''Logia Iesu: Sayings of Our Lord''. Later finds shed more light on the work, now identified as the Gospel of Thomas condemned by several [[Church Fathers]], which is a series of sayings attributed to Jesus, many found nowhere else, with no narrative framework. Although Grenfell and Hunt soon retracted their inappropriate designation of the text as ''logia'' in favor of ''logoi'', it has since become standard to speak of the composition as ''logia'', and of each individual saying as a ''logion'', numbered in most division schemes from 1 to 114.<ref name="Robinson" /><ref name="Luhrmann" />
