The Nag Hammadi library preserves a varied collection of ancient writings on creation, revelation and salvation. This Library of Alexandria edition presents them in modern English, including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Truth and the Secret Book of John. The Gospel of Thomas gathers sayings attributed to Jesus. The Gospel of Philip explores knowledge, spirit and salvation. The Secret Book of John offers a distinctive account of creation. Dialogues, revelations and prayers elsewhere in the collection show how differently these writers approached related questions. For readers interested in Gnosticism, early Christianity and the history of ancient religious texts.
