A collected edition of three significant texts associated with early Christian Gnostic tradition, presenting alternative theological perspectives on authority, knowledge, and the nature of spiritual understanding. This volume brings together the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and a Gnostic text attributed to John, each offering distinct interpretations of teaching, revelation, and the role of hidden knowledge in spiritual life. These writings depart from the canonical framework of the New Testament, emphasizing inward knowledge (gnosis) over institutional authority and presenting a more interpretive, often symbolic account of spiritual truth. The Gospel of Thomas preserves sayings attributed to Jesus in a concise and aphoristic form; the Gospel of Mary foregrounds questions of authority and insight; and the Johannine material explores cosmology and the structure of divine emanation. Translated and arranged by Fr. D. Ric Thomas, this edition presents the texts in accessible form while retaining their conceptual complexity. Read together, they offer a view into the diversity of early Christian thought and the interpretive traditions that developed alongside orthodox doctrine.
