Description
What if early believers debated the nature of Jesus and salvation so intensely that entire gospels were left on the cutting-room floor-labeled “heretical” but brimming with spiritual insight?
This comprehensive volume gathers the major Gnostic texts: from the riddle-like Gospel of Thomas to esoteric visions like the Apocalypse of Peter and the Revelation of Adam. Updated for modern readers, these works highlight a path of hidden knowledge, cosmic archons, and an emphasis on the divine spark within.
Included Texts:
- Gospels of Thomas, Philip, Mary, Judas – Alternative views of Christ’s teachings.
- Authoritative Discourse & Concept of Our Great Power – Reflecting Gnostic liberation theology.
- Revelations of Paul, Peter, Adam, James – Apocalyptic glimpses of cosmic realms and final destinies.
- Valentinian & Sethian Treatises – Zostrianos, Allogenes, Marsanes, exploring layered heavens.
What You’ll Discover Inside:
- A Radical Spiritual Cosmology – Learn about archons, the Demiurge, and the soul’s quest for enlightenment.
- Alternative Christology – A Savior who guides seekers to inner realization rather than mere dogma.
- Diverse Christian Expressions – Witness how 2nd-4th century believers grappled with identity, scripture, and community boundaries.
- Clash with Orthodoxy – Understand why official Church leaders pushed these writings underground.
Open a gateway to mysticism, self-inquiry, and a reimagined Christian story. Encounter a legacy that once rivaled-and still challenges-established tradition.
