Thomas. Lead to the expression "Doubting Thomas"

AnswerThroughout John's Gospel, Thomas is portrayed as a doubting disciple. Elaine Pagels (Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas) sees a principal objective of John's Gospel to refute the beliefs of the Thomas Christians. Only John presents this challenging and critical portrait of the disciple he calls "Thomas, the one called Didymus". This theme is nowhere evident in any of the other three New Testament Gospels and, on this evidence, its veracity is doubtful.
