 * Keep Turns out he's a fairly serious writer, at least to the extent that academic libraries are willing to buy the books-- and one was translated into German, which is ordinarily a sign of at least some  significance. Most importantly, his translation of the Gospel of Thomas is in over 1000 worldCat academic and public libraries.  . DGG (talk) 01:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Could use a few more references in the article though. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:35, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
