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)

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

This is indeed a tremendous bundle of spiritual gifts to guide us on our path towards our journey! Can’t wait to read them!

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.

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.

The book itself is great... large size, easy to read, arranged well. The content... well let's just say I have an issue with some of it. I keep hearing about the Gnostic gospels and the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary so I figured I would get a copy of the Gnostic gospels and see what it says. The Gospel of Thomas is all over the place. It is a word salad. Very little of it makes any sense at all. It is full of these esoteric and mystical phrases and then we are told to figure it out basically... like ending with a sentence of "for those with ears to hear". I find it hard to believe that Jesus would come here to "save" us, to teach us, guide us, show us the path to salvation and paradise... and then leave us cryptic messages. Why not just teach us the truth? Why not just say what we need to know and learn in plain language? This is totally illogical to me and therefore I cannot put much faith in anything here. As for the Gospel of Mary, so much is missing that it is hard to put any faith in that text either. Several pages right before she describes the afterlife and the stations one must pass through being judged and questioned by entities who guard the passage. There is no context for this as the pages are missing. What leads up to this? Who exactly is she referring to? Everyone or a particular person's experience? Is this something Jesus said or what? We do not know because the pages are missing. Now I know why they were passed over for the canonical book. The rest of the content is interesting in and of itself.

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.

I'm reading the entire missing books of the Bible and getting more information for myself to understand and know. I'm glad I've done it and I feel like everyone should read the entire missing books of the Bible and understand them for yourself !

Good purchase

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.

If you want to go down the rabbits hole in biblical events, this series is your go-to. Well written and as I'm just getting started, I see it also comes with audio book.

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.
