Gnostic Foundations
Six complete reading editions that introduce sayings, revelation, poetic voice and alternative early Christian thought: Thomas, Mary, Philip, Truth, Thunder and the Dialogue of the Savior.
One question.
Multiple witnesses.
The records in this collection do not all say the same thing, and they do not all come from the same community or period. The value is in reading them beside one another while keeping those differences visible.
