In The Gnostic Gospels of Jesus, world-renowned Gnostic literature expert Marvin Meyer presents every known Gnostic Gospel and Jesus text gathered together in one book. Included are the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Mary, along with lesser-known texts like the Secret Book of John, which some scholars regard as the second part of the New Testament Gospel of John. Detailed notes from Meyer explain everything the reader needs to know to understand the text.
The texts in The Gnostic Gospels of Jesus present an image of Jesus as the ultimate wisdom teacher, who scandalized listeners by his radical egalitarianism and his insistence on living the message he taught. Marvin Meyer is the foremost expert on the Nag Hammadi texts and texts about Jesus outside the New Testament. He is Griset Professor of Bible and Christian Studies, Co-Chair of the Department of Religious Studies, and Director of the Albert Schweitzer Institute, at Chapman University, Orange, CA. "Marv is one of the original secret gospels scholars who has done an enormous amount of work to bring these texts to light. All of his research on the Nag Hammadi texts is having an incredible impact on our knowledge of early Christian history--it is virtually redefining it." --Dr. Elaine Pagels, Princeton University
