Review: A must have for anyone studying the Bible - Interesting book! I wouldn't mind if the print were larger, but then I'm getting older. John 21:25 - "But there are also many other things that Jesus(Yeshua) did; and if they were all to be recorded, I don't think the whole world could contain the books that would have to be written!" I believe these are some of those books. It is a collection of Papyrus bound books, not scrolls, found near the city of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt, in a clay jar, sent to translators as a collective around the world, English speaking, French, German. These people obviously dedicated much of their lives to translating and piecing together evidence of other works as well..."Gospel of Thomas", "Gospel of Philip", "Wisdom of Jesus Christ", "Dialogue of the Savior". This is a must have for anyone studying the Bible.
Review: Excellent - I love this book. It has a lot of lost info of the Bible and gives a great perspective.

This isn't a book! It's actually a magic portal through which the reader tumbles from one dimension to another. Sometimes the results are unsettling, but one is always left believing that, however much new got found in the next dimension, a lot is still there waiting to be discovered. The blah cover of Nag Hammadi Scriptures makes it look like just another dry, boring now-let's-study-the-Bible type book. Instead it's a ticket for fascinating time travel out of the present and back to a murky, confusing past; from one civilization to another; from one rigid belief system to another; from one religion to another. You get bounced from reality to myth, and then all the way back again -- provided you still want to return. This ancient anthology is an impressive job of scholarship and clear translation, and it oozes with bunches of helpful footnotes, introductions and leads for further study. If it has a flaw, I think it is that, found here and there throughout the volume, are faint hints of traditional Christian ideas. Sometimes one senses the editors may be trying a little too hard to reconcile some orthodox Christian belief or other with what they assume the ancient authors were saying or thinking. And the book certainly wants to make you believe that everyone with a point of view needs to have earned a degree from some obscure school of theology or religion. But ignore all that. If you buy the book, you've got the right to make up your own mind about what it says. And if there ever was a topic about which everyone's entitled to their own slant, this must be it. As all readers will, I have a bias. I am a very devout Buddhist, steeped primarily in the religious traditions of Sri Lanka. The revelations I derived from the Nag Hammadi Scriptures were that passage, after passage, after passage is at least compatible with (and sometimes nearly identical to) Theravadan Buddhist teaching, and that both Gnostic ideas and Buddhism seem closer to one another than either one does to today's Christian practices. All of which suggests to me that, though the world doggedly perpetuates and exalts countless images of, names for and ideas about "gods", you don't have to be a great scholar or professional theologian to recognize that, in the end, there is after all only one. To me this book argues most eloquently that, whoever or whatever that god may be, a wise search for him/her starts by a dive deep within the human psyche.
