Discover the life and death, the sayings and doings, of Jesus Christ according to the Apostle Bartholomew. Received from a millennium-old European Gnostic organization, this Gospel sheds surprising, even shocking, new light on the life of Jesus Christ. Discover the identity of the wife of Jesus, his association with the Essenes, as well as his association with the Dead Sea community of "Damascus" which produced the Dead Sea Scrolls. Discover intriguing sayings of Jesus and strange events in his life that you will not find in any other Gospel, such as, "I am like unto a bell. Tap me softly and you shall hear a pleasant tone. Strike me hard and you shall hear a piercing peal unto the ends of the earth." Or, "I am the underground spring from which you flow. Drink of this underground spring and the Life of the Aeon of the Aeons shall be yours, and you shall know we are One," as well as ""When tired, sleep. When hungry, eat. When aroused, enjoy sexual union." And, "Thaddeus approached Jesus and said, 'Master we found a man preaching in your name, saying that you teach all to worship Helios, for Helios is the source of Light and Life.' Jesus replied, 'Do not meddle with that man, for it is better to worship Helios than the gods of this kosmos.'" The Gospel of Bartholomew is a must read for everyone interested in occult lore about Jesus and his apostles, Gnostic wisdom, and the hidden sayings of Christ.
Translated by the late REV. ROBERT B. HITCHCOCK from an allegedly Medieval codex, which is claimed to be a copy of a far older manuscript dating from the first several centuries of the Christian Era, this Gospel confronts us with a vastly different account of the life of Jesus. Discover the shocking identity of the father of Judas Iscariot, the identity of the "Anti-Christ" as well as the identity of "the disciple whom Jesus loved" and their possibly gay relationship. Meet the wives of Jesus as they unveil for you the true place of Mary Magdalene. Enter the maze of startling facts and esoteric Gnostic teachings which comprise The Gnostic Gospel Of Bartholomew. We have no way of verifying the authenticity of the codex from which this translation was allegedly made. So, we urge the reader to use spiritual discernment before purchasing this book to determine whether or not it is inspired by God and is authentic.
Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
In the Gospels of the Bible there are a few comments about Mary Magdalene here and there. But in the Gnostic scriptures that have been discovered, there are tantalizing hints that both her relationship to Jesus and her role among Jesus' disciples may have been profoundly important. Among several schools of Gnostic Christianity, Mary plays an essential role in the revelation of the gospel. Here, for the first time in print, is a Sophian Gospel of St. Mary Magdalene. No secret oral tradition as extensive as this has ever been recorded, and none has ever presented a Gnostic view of Mary Magdalene as she is portrayed in this groundbreaking work—as a powerful holy woman, the innermost disciple and beloved wife of Jesus, and a Christed woman who is coequal with Jesus in the Christ revelation.
"The Secret Book of John: The Gnostic Gospel - Annotated & Explained decodes the principal themes, historical foundation, and spiritual contexts of this challenging yet fundamental Gnostic teaching. Drawing connections to Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, kabbalistic Judaism, and Sufism, Davies focuses on the mythology and psychology of the Gnostic religious quest. He illuminates the Gnostics' ardent call for self-awareness and introspection, and the empowering message that divine wholeness will be restored not by worshiping false gods in an illusory material world but by our recognition of the inherent divinity within ourselves."--BOOK JACKET.
Recommended by top scholars in the field of Gnostic studies for many years, but has been virtually impossible to find until now. One of the best books on the subject, essential for any serious researcher. A virtual gold mine of Gnostic material, some translated and presented here for the first time.
The Gnostics were early Christians whose beliefs and practices put them at odds with the orthodox Church; indeed, the Church considered Gnostics to be heretics and made a concerted effort to destroy their writings. However, in 1945, a remarkable discovery was made in Nag Hamadi, in the Egyptian desert: a jar containing 13 papyrus documents, dating back to the fourth century ad, with genuine Gnostic texts in the original Greek. In addition, this manuscript included four gospels that offered accounts of Jesus and His times that are strikingly different from the New Testament. Alan Jacobs brings his unrivalled scholarship to bear on these illuminating and eye-opening works, offering inspiring and poetic translations that capture the verses’ uplifting spiritual message and beauty.
In December 1945, two Egyptian fellahin, digging for natural fertilizer in the Nile River valley unearthed a sealed storage jar. The jar proved to hold treasure of an unexpected sort: a collection of some fifty-two ancient manuscripts, most of which reflect the teachings of a mystical religious movement we call Gnosticism (from the Greek word gnosis, "knowledge"). The texts are also, with few exceptions, Christian documents, and thus they provide us with valuable new information about the character of the early church, and about the Gnostic Christians within the church. In this volume, Marvin W. Meyer has produced a new English translation for general readers of four of the most important and revealing of these early Christian texts -- the Secret Book of James, the Gospel of Thomas, the Book of Thomas, and the Secret Book of John.
