A stunning illustrated gift edition of the bestselling Alan Jacobs edition of the Christian mystical sacred text The Gnostic Gospels. Includes c.50 full-colour illustrations in a hardcover package with a fabulous gold foil cover, ribbon and patterned endpapers.
Omitted from the Bible and discovered only in 1945 in Nag Hammadi in Egypt, the Gnostic Gospels are a source of fascination, intrigue and inspiration for many spiritual seekers. Now, Alan Jacob's bestselling selection of these sacred texts, including the Gospels of Mary Magdalene, Philip, Thomas and Judas, and introduced by the Reverend Dr. Vrej Nersessian, curator of the Christian Middle East section at the British Library, is presented in a glorious gift edition, beautifully illustrated with medieval paintings, images of archaeological artefacts and gnostic symbols.
- Unearth the ancient sayings and enlightened teachings of the Gnostic Gospels, dated from the 2nd to the 4th century AD, to truly envision the origins and history of Christianity itself.
- Explore these 14 key texts, chosen out of the 54 discovered for their curious and poignant relevance today, dealing with questions of good and evil, sin and suffering and the path to salvation.
- Discover the light these esoteric doctrines shed on intimate conversations between Jesus and his Disciples, and learn from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene more about his relationship with this favourite disciple.
- Learn from concentrated mini-parables in The Gospel of Thomas, containing deep inward and symbolic meaning, many of which are not found in the New Testament.
Artfully woven together by author and senior priest at the Armenian Apostolic Church, Reverend Dr. Vrej Nersessian, and by poet and author Alan Jacobs, The Illustrated Gnostic Gospels is an enticing must-have for those wanting to experience a deeper and more intimate relationship with Christianity.
