Dr. Peel offers a full commentary on the Epistle. He discusses its place in the Nag Hammadi Library, the nature of its eschatology & its authorship. He has also made a new translation, with an analysis of the argument of the Epistle with full exegetical & philological notes.
The didactic letter to Rheginos, aka the Treatise on the Resurrection, is the fourth text in the Jung Codex. In the New Testament a warning can be found against the gnostic Christians, who believed that their 'resurrection' had happened & was a spiritual reality (2Timothy 2:16ff). This gnostic idea about the possibility of becoming conscious of the eternal spiritual life was indeed expressed in the Treatise on the Resurrection & in a number of other writings from Nag Hammadi. It is no illusion, it is truth. It is more suitable to say, then, that the world is an illusion, rather than the resurrection which came into being through our Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ.
