The astounding discovery sixty years ago by an Egyptian camel driver of a jar filled with ancient papyrus manuscripts, known collectively as the Nag Hammadi library, was one of the archaeological finds of the century. These fragments at Nag Hammadi, painstakingly restored and translated, reveal an alternative perspective on Jesus and the beliefs of many of his earliest followers."--BOOK JACKET.00aJesus ChristxGnostic interpretations. 0aGnostic literature. 0aApocryphal books (New Testament)1 aMeyer, Marvin W.  2ddccBK  00102ddc40708NFICaHMCbHMCcGENd2019-01-11g3650.00l0o299.93 M612Gp006813r2019-01-11 00:00:00w2019-01-11yBK
