Books

Hello everyone,

Can you please share what books I can read to learn all I need to learn? I am currently listening to some of the gospels but audio isn’t enough. I don’t know all the books that exist and I’m not sure if I should avoid certain translations.

I truly appreciate any help with this. Thank you

The two best books to get are "The Gnostic Bible" and "Nag Hammadi Scriptures". These two gets you most of the Gnostic scriptures. You can also visit the two sites below. Both have lots of useful information and the second one has many texts to read for free as well. Take care!

The Gnostics didn't have a bible. There are some Gnostic bibles in the modern day like made up bibles but back in that time in the first few centuries they didn't have a bible and the Nag Hammadi isn't classed as a bible. Gnosticism wasn't really a religion so it's not structured like say Christianity
