"This book may well be the most comprehensive collection of gnostic materials ever gathered in one volume.

A valuable resource for students and scholars."- Publishers Weekly "The selection of texts ranges across two millennia and various cultures.Β Each work, some translated into English for the first time, is accompanied by a clear introduction and synopsis.Β This is an important sampler of relatively unknown spiritual literature."- Library Journal "To read The Gnostic Bible is to witness something astonishing. . . .

Synopsis
A collection of Gnostic texts spanning centuries, geographical locations, and cultural traditions--"a wonderful achievement" (Elaine Pagels, author of The Gnostic Gospels ) Gnosticism was a wide-ranging religious movement of the first millennium CE--with earlier antecedents and later flourishings--whose adherents sought salvation through knowledge and personal religious experience. Gnostic writings offer striking perspectives on both early Christian and non-Christian thought. For example, some gnostic texts suggest that god should be celebrated as both mother and father, and that self-knowledge is the supreme path to the divine. Only in the past fifty years has it become clear how far the gnostic influence spread in ancient and medieval religions--and what a marvelous body of scriptures it produced. The selections gathered here in poetic, readable translation represent Jewish, Christian, Hermetic, Mandaean, Manichaean, Islamic, and Cathar expressions of gnostic spirituality. Their regions of origin include Egypt, the Greco-Roman world, the Middle East, Syria, Iraq, China, and France. Also included are introductions, notes, an extensive glossary, and a wealth of suggestions for further reading., A collection of Gnostic texts spanning centuries, geographical locations, and cultural traditions-"a wonderful achievement" (Elaine Pagels, author of The Gnostic Gospels ) Gnosticism was a wide-ranging religious movement of the first millennium CE-with earlier antecedents and later flourishings-whose adherents sought salvation through knowledge and personal religious experience.

- h***e (23)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller did a great job packaging my books. They were well protected during shipment. The condition was as as described however Book 7 was more worn. Overall great value. Would definitely buy from this seller again!Amulet #1-8 Box Set, Kibuishi, Kazu, Very Good Book (#156615627129)
- d***4 (13)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseOverall very happy with the product. My ONLY complaint is there are visible lines all throughout the concert. Very annoying and distracting. I donβt blame the seller though. Best guess this is the result of converting data recorded in 1985 to DVD. Seller is probably unaware of the issue. I would offer more than 5 stars if I could regarding the rest of the transaction. Condition of the packaging is good, offered at a fair price and was shipped right away. Would buy from this seller again.
