What he found, buried in an ancient earthenware jar; were fifty~two papyrus texts, including gospels and other secret writings, some dating from the beginning of the Christian era~the period when the New Testament gospels themselves were written. Now, after years of scholarly investigation and analysis, the Nag Hammadi texts have turned out to be among the most important archeological discoveries of modern times. This book by Professor Pagels, the distinguished historian of religion, is the first account written by a scholar for the general reader about these profoundly revealing documents. These so~called gnostic writings describe many of the people and events found in the New Testament, but from a strikingly different perspective. They show us that the early church, far from the unified body we have assumed it to be, was deeply split from the beginning; that many followers of Christ were not in agreement on the facts of his life, the meaning of his teachings, or the form that the church should take. From such texts as the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Thomas, in which the apostle appears as Jesus' twin, we learn that some gnostic Christians denied that Christ returned in the flesh and appointed Peter his successor; that many gnostics challenged priestly authority and believed instead in the presence of the divine within the human; that the way to salvation was through self~knowledge. We learn too of gnostic groups that believed in a God who was both Father and Mother, and that women and men were spiritual equals. In this brilliantly lucid account, we discover why the orthodox church chose to suppress these gnostic texts, and why the gnostics themselves were condemned as heretics as early as the first century. Professor Pagels also explains why these writings were hidden, how they were found, and how their meaning is now being revealed through painstaking scholarship. Most significantly, she shows us how these extraordinary texts compel us to reconsider profoundly the traditional view of the origins and meanings of Christianity. Not since Edmund Wilson's account of the Dead Sea Scrolls nearly twenty~five years ago has the general reader been offered such an illuminating study of the roots of Western religion. A Startling Account Of The Meaning Of Jesus And The Origin Of Christianity Based On Gnostic Gospels And Other Secret Texts, Written Almost 2,000 Years Ago, Recently Discovered Near Nag Hammadi In Upper Egypt.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; Pagels explores a remarkable range of recently discovered gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, to show how a variety of "Christianities" emerged at a time of extraordinary spiritual upheaval. Brillian, provocative, and stunning in its implications. The Gnostic Gospels is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith.
