The Gnostic Gospels Master Collection: The Rejected Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Truth, Judas, Peter, Philip, Pistis Sophia and More. Includes 22 ... and Gnostic Gospels Bible Collection)

Ok. This book offers so much information in one place your mind just melts. But it is the same fact that so much information is contained that makes this book so wonderful. The author refrains from much analysis of his own that drove me to consider the set from reading his other works. But there are 2 problems. #2 the book contains other books in the set. For someone who is on a strick budget, books are a luxury. It should recognize that you already have a book purchased that is also contained in the encyclopedia. It should then say you already have a book in this set and remove or give a discount. Gospel of Mary Magdalene and Gospel of Thomas are explicit examples. Why must you pay twice for them when they are contained in the larger book. #1 The glaring problem is that his own books to no coincide with each other or book from other authors on vary same subject. This and his other books on lost gospels take actual printed text from the translated actual source. These writings and texts he is using are not interpretations but word for word copies of the official authorized text. But his books differ in these official texts from themselves and other authors. In both his books Gospels of Mary Magdalene and Thomas and this book, the official texts vary both from line to line in both of individual words but of whole sentences. That can't be. These texts must coincide with his other books word for word BUT ALSO with other authors that are using the same very texts in their books. I frankly would like to know why.

a great quick read full of common sense that everyone should read and get something out of.

This book is a very well organized compilation of scripture and dialogue of New Testament Biblical characters. I believe it to be authentic not only because of the scriptures that are found in our traditional Bibles but because of the candor of the dialogues within the group. It gives much deeper meaning of the traditional scriptures and even shows how some of the scriptures in our traditional Bible were actually quoted from these texts but not at the same depth. It starts off at the disciple level and takes you up to unfathomable levels of heaven and spirituality. Making the government of heaven and its impact on us seem smaller while maintaining its complexity and unfathomable vastness. Then again it brings us back down to the disciples level where we can see how it impacts us now. One thing that really impressed me was the questions the disciples asked. It seems to me they were far more intelligent than what I realized by what I read in our traditional Bible. It seems even the simplest of them had intelligence beyond that of most of our collage graduates today. I do recommend this book if you are interested in theology but warn that it is quite complicated. It’s probably something you wouldn’t understand if you were not supposed to.

The book is amazing! The design is nice except the yellow banner on the bottom that says “3 Supplementary Contents inside” it takes away from the beauty of the cover. Makes it look tacky. And whoever packaged mine did a horrible job. The back cover is bent and creased real bad because they just threw it in a box, did not wrap it with anything. Those people working in the warehouse can be really lazy.

Helped me understand the gospels

good

Very informative

Book is very well written and organized. The nature of the Gnostic Gospels can be a little hard to follow. I am using various study books in AudioBook form combined with this book in actual print form to get the most out of the study. This system seems to work very well. Excellet book.

Interesting work by the author that brings together the so-called hidden gospels that the church has never officially recognized and it is not clear why. For those who love the genre for those who are scholars of the Sacred Texts I think this work is a true test of intellectual honesty and open-mindedness that everyone should have with respect to what are nonetheless of very ancient texts and that help to reconstruct and integrate what has already been narrated in the texts recognized By the church itself. I think it is necessary to give it a careful and unprejudiced reading and then draw one's own conclusions. i highly recommend it

A nicely presented compilation of the Gnostic Gospels which is aiding me in my journey of Faith. Anyone of any Faith will find this book of interest.

The Gnostic Gospels Master Collection has been one of the most thought-provoking spiritual resources I’ve ever experienced. It brings together a remarkable collection of ancient Gnostic writings in a way that is easy to understand while still preserving the depth and mystery of the original texts. Reading through these works has encouraged me to reflect more deeply on spirituality, self-knowledge, and the pursuit of wisdom. One of my favorite features is the downloadable audiobook. Being able to listen to it while I’m falling asleep has become part of my nightly routine. The calm narration helps me relax, and even if I don’t consciously remember every passage, I often wake up feeling as though I’ve spent the night immersed in meaningful ideas. It’s a peaceful way to end the day and a convenient option for anyone who prefers listening over reading. Whether you’re new to Gnostic literature or have been studying these texts for years, this collection offers an engaging and accessible experience. The combination of beautifully organized material and the flexibility of the audiobook makes it a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring these ancient writings. I highly recommend the Gnostic Gospels Master Collection to anyone seeking a deeper appreciation of Gnostic traditions and a relaxing way to engage with them each day.

I recently received my books. They have become a major part of my library and are essential to anyone seeking further knowledge of the Bible. I highly recommend you buy these and read them. They will give you a deeper understanding of the Bible and I believe, deepen your faith and walk with God.

I have always been interested in all the Gnostic texts that were not included in the Bible and it was interesting to read this collection. The author describes, catalogues and quotes the secret Gnostic gospels that were destroyed in the 4th century AD, but of which copies fortunately remain. He has done an excellent job of explaining the scriptures and the gospel in a very accessible way, so that one can understand the different arguments/viewpoints between orthodoxy and Gnosticism.
