I doubt very much that any serious student of early christianity would accuse Helmut Koester of pseudo christian scholarship. There is no evidence that the gospel of Thomas is any more of a forgery than any of the canonical gospels. Probably it was not included in the NT canon because It didn't fit the literalist view of the Roman church. As far as the dating of the Gospel of Thomas, who should I regard as authoritative? An anonymous internet poster or the author of the two-volume Introduction to the New Testament and Ancient Christian Gospels regarded as seminal works in the field? Hmmm..
