Paperback US edition, 1990. Good condition but there is a tear to the cover and first few pages, and the sides of the pages are yellowing. Comes from a smoke and pet free home and I'm happy to combine postage costs if multiple items are purchased.

About this product
Product Information
This revised, expanded, and updated edition of The Nag Hammadi Library is the only complete, one-volume, modern language version of the renowned library of fourth-century manuscripts discovered in Egypt in 1945. First published in 1978, The Nag Hammadi Library launched modern Gnostic studies and exposed a movement whose teachings are in many ways as relevant today as they were sixteen centuries ago. James M. Robinson's updated introduction reflects ten years of additional research and editorial and critical work. There is an afterword by Richard Smith that discusses the modern relevance of Gnosticism and its influence on such writers as Voltaire, Blake, Melville, Yeats, Kerouac, and Philip K. Dick. Acclaimed by scholars and general readers alike, The Nag Hammadi Library is a work of major importance to everyone interested in the evolution of Christianity, the Bible, archaeology, and the story of Western civilisation.Product Identifiers

A lovely read
I find the mystic text to be very interesting to say the least, since my wife left me and took the kids with her I have needed to fill my time in my new bed sit keeping my mind occupied on anything other than my current situation for fear of falling to the darkness. I find that the thick imagery and the deep analogies when mixed with the symbolism to really help take my mind of the years of abuse I have and continue to suffer. I would very much recommend this to anyone as it is very intriguing with a lot spiritual and metaphysical knowledge.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
