About this product

Product Information

In December 1945, two Egyptian fellahin, digging for natural fertilizer in the Nile River valley unearthed a sealed storage jar. The jar proved to hold treasure of an unexpected sort: a collection of some fifty-two ancient manuscripts, most of which reflect the teachings of a mystical religious movement we call Gnosticism (from the Greek word gnosis, "knowledge"). The texts are also, with few exceptions, Christian documents, and thus they provide us with valuable new information about the character of the early church, and about the Gnostic Christians within the church. In this volume, Marvin W. Meyer has produced a new English translation for general readers of four of the most important and revealing of these early Christian texts -- the Secret Book of James, the Gospel of Thomas, the Book of Thomas, and the Secret Book of John.

  • For those curious about The Nag Hammadi. Books

    It is for those curious as to what was discarded, even banned, when the “ Holy Bible” was assembled by men. It is well researched and referenced with the Bible. It had me doing more Bible study than I have in years . It also led to my ordering “ The Christianities” which is excellent.

  • Simple introduction

    The introductions provide background and warning. The Gnostic books provide a look at an altogether different version of Christianity. It's hard to figure out some of the Gnostic writing. Anyone can understand enough of what the Gnostics are saying to see a bit of their world. It is a first century world at war. Conditions were terrible. Confusion and conflict. These writers and their version of the earliest Christianity lost everything. The winners erased or re-wrote their vision.

  • secret teachings of jesus

    After I'd ordered it, I wondered if it was what I wanted -- gnostic texts. The title wasn't accurate from a scholarly point of view. But the description must have been correct. It was just what I wanted.

  • The Secret Teachings of Jesus

    I read "The Secret Teachings of Jesus" about 18 years ago. Reading this book makes a deep impression on you. It is priceless. When I saw it online, I knew at that moment that it is time for me to have this experience again. SKS
