What if early Christianity was more diverse than you ever imagined, brimming with hidden gospels, mystical revelations, and radical teachings?

Discovered in 1945, the Nag Hammadi library contains 52 tractates that challenge traditional views of Jesus, creation, and salvation. This modern presentation unveils texts like the Gospel of Thomas, the Secret Book of John, and the Gospel of Philip—treasured by ancient Gnostic groups striving for spiritual "gnosis" and freedom from cosmic powers.

Included Texts:

  • Gnostic Gospels (Thomas, Philip, Mary, Judas)
  • Sethian & Valentinian Writings (Zostrianos, Allogenes, The Tripartite Tractate)
  • Revelations & Dialogues (Secret Book of John, Apocalypse of Adam, Thunder: Perfect Mind)
  • Philosophical & Mystical Treatises (Eugnostos the Blessed, The Discourse on the Eighth and Ninth)
  • What You'll Discover Inside:

  • Alternate Visions of Jesus – Sayings and parables emphasizing self-discovery and inner enlightenment.
  • Cosmic Hierarchies & Archons – Understand the Gnostic view of a flawed creator and hidden spiritual realms.
  • A Radical Path to Salvation – Explore personal revelation over institutional dogma.
  • Merging Greek, Jewish & Christian Thought – See how these works weave ancient philosophy with biblical narratives.
  • Unlock an alternative spiritual heritage that once competed with emerging orthodoxy. Journey into the heart of Gnostic wisdom and discover a rich mosaic of early Christian thought.
