The Nag Hammadi Library
James M. Robinson
HarperOne, 1990
Nag Hammadi
This book is awesome. It has a lot of information that coincides with the bible but also other information that was left out. I strongly recommend it for anyone that is on a spiritual search and thirsts for more knowledge.

The Gospel of Jesus: In Search of the Original Good News
James M. Robinson
HarperOne, 2005
An interesting academic exercise: extra-Biblical-based Christianity
What if you took a document that no one has seen, no one has a copy of and may in fact have never actually existed. Then you use that document, giving it priority over other, better documented sources to redefine a major religion. That is essentially what we see in ...

Ancient and enlightenment...
This collection of texts gives a fascinating view of early Christian texts and views, particularly in light of the fact that these were not the writings that made it into the mainstream of church and biblical canonical development, but rather were influential in an ...

Nag Hammadi Scriptures, The: The International Edition
Marvin Meyer, James M. Robinson
HarperOne, 2007
Complete(?) Gnostic Sourcebook
I want to make one short point in this review. I believe this is the only volume you need for Gnostic source material.
The title is misleading. This book (as of 2007) contains the _entire_ collection of "Gnostic" texts available, whether included in the Nag ...

The Quest of the Historical Jesus: A Critical Study of Its Progress from Reimarus to Wrede

MacMillan Publishing Company, 1968
Misunderstood classic
For over one hundred years people have been misinterpreting this book, or at least focusing on a secondary issue. Yes, Schweitzer does show how views of Jesus mirror the culture of the writers who write about him. But that is not as important as the fact that the ...
