The Gnostic Gospels: Master Collection
by Jeremy Payton
"A definitive, 14-in-1 compilation of the foundational apocryphal and Gnostic texts excluded from the canonical biblical assembly."
📜 THEOLOGICAL STUDIES & EARLY CHRISTIANITY
This comprehensive volume gathers the rejected scriptures of early Christianity, offering an unfiltered look into the diverse theological thought of the first centuries A.D. before orthodox consolidation.
Extended Synopsis
The Gnostic Gospels Master Collection is an essential archival resource that brings together the most significant texts removed, banned, or omitted from the modern biblical canon. Curated by Jeremy Payton, this 14-in-1 masterwork provides unparalleled access to the divergent spiritual frameworks of early Gnosticism. It includes critical translations of the Gospels of Thomas, Truth, Judas, Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Philip, alongside complex cosmological treatises such as the Pistis Sophia and the Hypostasis of the Archons.
Designed for complete academic and spiritual immersion, this large-format 8.5x11 edition goes beyond the standard Gnostic library. It integrates the Complete Apocrypha, featuring the Books of Enoch (1, 2, and 3) and the Book of Giants, supplemented by an additional 22 apocryphal texts. Furthermore, it embraces modern accessibility by including a seamlessly integrated audiobook, accessible instantly via a scannable QR code embedded within the text.
