Ancient Gnosticism : Traditions and Literature
Outline: Birger A. Pearson surveys all the primary literary evidence for ancient Gnosticism, providing a clear and succint introduction to each individual writing (including the newly published Gospel of Judas from the Tchacos Codex), along with a judicious consideration of the historical origins of Gnosticism. The classic schools of Christian Gnosticism are discussed, along with Hermetic Gnosis, Manichesism, and the Mandaeans. Chapters are helpfully keyed to all the standard translations of Gnostic writings, including The Nag Hammadi Scriptures: The International Edition, edited by Marvin W. Meyer (2007). The book includes maps and suggestions for further reading.
