The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, edited by Marvin Meyer, is the most
complete, up-to-date, one-volume, English-language edition of the
renowned library of Gnostic manuscripts discovered in Egypt in 1945,
which rivaled the Dead Sea Scrolls find in significance. It includes the
Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and the recently discovered Gospel
of Judas, as well as other Gnostic gospels and sacred texts. This volume
also includes introductory essays, notes, tables, glossary, index, etc.
to help the reader understand the context and contemporary significance
of these texts which have shed new light on early Christianity and
ancient thought. The compilation of ancient manuscripts that constitute
The Nag Hammadi Scriptures is a discovery that challenges everything
we thought we knew about the early Christian church, ancient Judaism,
and Greco-Roman religions.
