The Complete Gnostic Gospels & Apocalypses: Ancient Rejected Christian Texts Questioning Orthodoxy—From Thomas to the Apocalypse of Peter - A Modern Translation - Adapted for the Contemporary Reader

What if early believers debated the nature of Jesus and salvation so intensely that entire gospels were left on the cutting-room floor—labeled “heretical” but brimming with spiritual insight?

This comprehensive volume gathers the major Gnostic texts: from the riddle-like Gospel of Thomas to esoteric visions like the Apocalypse of Peter and the Revelation of Adam. Updated for modern readers, these works highlight a path of hidden knowledge, cosmic archons, and an emphasis on the divine spark within.

Gospels of Thomas, Philip, Mary, Judas • – Alternative views of Christ’s teachings. Authoritative Discourse & Concept of Our Great Power • – Reflecting Gnostic liberation theology. Revelations of Paul, Peter, Adam, James • – Apocalyptic glimpses of cosmic realms and final destinies. Valentinian & Sethian Treatises • – Zostrianos, Allogenes, Marsanes, exploring layered heavens.
