Description
The Nag Hammadi Scriptures: A Collection of Sacred Gnostic Texts In 1945, a remarkable discovery was made in Egypt, which would challenge our understanding of early Christianity and ancient religions. A large storage jar containing ancient manuscripts was unearthed, revealing a treasure trove of fourth-century texts known as Gnosticism. This collection, now available in English, includes treatises, testimonies, and secret books that had been lost for centuries. The Nag Hammadi Scriptures features a range of texts, including the Gospel of Mary and the Gospel of Judas, which have been newly translated by a team of prominent international scholars. The volume also includes introductory essays and extensive notes to provide context and significance to these texts. This comprehensive collection is the most up-to-date English-language edition of these sacred texts from Egypt. With its extensive range of texts and scholarly commentary, The Nag Hammadi Scriptures offers a unique insight into the mystical tradition of Gnosticism and its impact on early Christianity and ancient religious thought.
