Synopsis:
Texts of luminous wisdom from the ancient and medieval worlds, including the Gospels of Thomas, Judas, and Mary Magdalene.
The Gnostics were passionate advocates of the view that salvation comes through knowledge and personal experience, and their passion shines through in the remarkable body of writings they produced over a period of more than a millennium and a half. These translations bring the Gnostic voices to us from across the centuries with striking power and beauty, beginning with texts from the earliest years of Christianity - including material from the Nag Hammadi library - and continuing all the way up to expressions of Gnostic wisdom found within Islam and in the Cathar movement of the Middle Ages.
The 21 texts included her serve as a compact introduction to Gnosticism and its principle ideas - and they also provide an entree to the pleasures of Gnostic literrature in general, representing, as they do, the greatest masterpieces of that tradition. |
