NAG HAMMADI SCRIPTURES PB

There is a wealth of knowledge in these gospels that should have been in the Bible. I absolutely adore this book

A neat translation on "Nag Hammadi" Scriptures. Recommended for seekers and people those who are interested on early christianity.

Worth buying

great information

monumental work by itself and a handy spiritual guide to learn complete dependence on God

Simple language and easy to read

I ordered this book with a lot of anticipation but it has been 10 days since it's arrival and I haven't built the enthusiasm to read it- for one simple reason- the light printing. The paper to text contrast is so poor- I'm appalled. A tome this size anyway requires a certain amount of resolve to read but if it ends up being UNREADABLE due to a reason like this- it's a shame. I dont know whether it's insensitivity, apathy or just cost cutting on the printer's behalf but I'm disappointed I haven't returned the book because I'm a collector and I will somehow figure out a way but for anyone else considering this- plz go for Kindle edition- u'll be better off.

Veey poor print quality

Excellent

Quem quer conhecer mais a fundo o gnosticismo tem que ler esse livro.

Fantastic

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.

Très sérieux , produit très soigné... Conforme aux attente ... Je recommande... Super Vendeur!!!
