Скачать или смотреть The Secret Book Of John Gnostic Text From The Nag Hammadi Library Full Audio Book With Music

The Nag Hammadi Library is a collection of early Christian scriptures (and a few other miscellaneous texts) discovered in the Egyptian desert in the middle of the twentieth century that has forced us to reconsider much of what we thought we knew about early Christianity, especially the type of early Christianity known as “Gnosticism.”

The books in the Nag Hammadi Library include the Secret Book of John, the Reality of the Rulers, and On the Origin of the World, which recount elaborate myths about how the world was created by an ignorant, malevolent being who is inferior to the true God, and how a divine spark became trapped within the world the Gospel of Thomas, a “sayings gospel” that gives over a hundred sayings attributed to Jesus and portrays salvation as a matter of achieving mystical identification with Christ rather than merely believing in him; the Gospel of Philip, which similarly proclaims that whoever obtains the rare spiritual insight called “gnosis” is “no longer a Christian, but a Christ;”
Three Forms of First Thought, a hymn written from the perspective of a female divine power who says that she “put on Jesus” like a garment and “bore him from the cursed wood;” the Gospel of Truth, a grand, poetically sensitive homily that likens Jesus hanging on the cross to fruit hanging on a tree, giving life to those who eat of it; and many, many more.
