The Passion of the Gospels Collection - Were you curious to know more about Jesus Christ's life and times after reading Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code?" Did viewing Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" make you want to speak to eyewitnesses to the events portrayed in the film? Then, "The Passion of the Gospels Collection" is a must read. It contains those portions of the Canonical Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - that pertain to the passion of Christ, his last few days on earth. It also contains the so-called Gnostic Gospels, such as "The Gospel of Thomas" and "The Gospel According To Mary Magdalene."
The Gnostic Gospels were unearthed in 1945 outside the Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi sealed in an earthenware jar. They consist of 52 separate texts contained on 13 papyrus leather-bound books, or codices. Overshadowed by the discovery two years later of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Library has only recently been acknowledged for what it truly is - an alternative testament of Christianity dating from the first few centuries A.D.
Written by one of the Twelve Apostles, "The Gospel of Thomas" was quoted from extensively by early Christian writers, such as Clement of Alexandria, but no copy was known to exist. In 1896, two British explorers excavating at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, found tiny papyrus fragments containing "The Gospel of Thomas" written in Greek. Then, in 1945 with the discovery of The Nag Hammadi Library, scholars at last had a full version of the gospel written in Coptic. Today, biblical scholars consider "The Gospel of Thomas" to be an authentic Fifth Gospel alongside John and the Synoptics.
Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in a single house,
they will say to the mountain, 'Move from here!' and it will move." Jesus Christ The Gospel of Thomas
Did You Know?
The word gospel means "good news".
Beginning in the 1st century A.D., Gnosticism proposes a knowledge of God obtained not by reason, but by a revealed knowledge from an interior spark of comprehension. It was this revelatory experience, or gnosis, which led the Gnostics to a direct, personal and absolute knowledge of the authentic truths of existence. They considered the attainment of this knowledge to be the supreme achievement of human life, and Gnosticism was held as a secret tradition by the original Apostles. Gnosticism celebrates God as both Mother and Father, shows a very human relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and speaks to self-knowledge as the route to union with God.
