Book Description
This volume presents critical editions of three of the most fragmentary codices in the Nag Hammadi Library. Their nine tractates are presented in an English translation with critically edited transcriptions of Coptic texts, including introductions and notes. A complete set of indices is provided for Coptic and Greek words, proper names, ancient texts and authors, and modern authors. The contents of these three ancient books reflect the rich diversity of the Library as a whole. They include a fragmentary (and apparently non-Christian) revelation descent narrative (Hypsiphrone); a non-Christian Sethian text reflecting heavy platonizing influence (Allogenes); Hellenistic Greek wisdom literature (Sentence of Sextus); a non-christian Sethian text, secondarily Christianized (Trimorphic Protennoia); Valentinian Gnosticism (A Valentinian Exposition); a Christian-Gnostic tractate with Valentinian affinities (The Interpretation of Knowledge). A Christian-Gnostic (perhaps Valentinian) homily on the gospel (the Gospel of Truth); the first page of On the Origin of the World (completely preserved in NHC II) and an identified fragmentary tractate with ethical content. There are also five Valentinian liturgical supplements appended to Allogenes. The publication of these religio-philosophical materials from Nag Hammadi provides the scholar and interested reader with critical editions of texts that help to fill in background and context of gnostic origins, and that shed light on the interaction among early Christianity and gnostic movements in antiquity.

Book Description
The collection of thirteen codices found in upper Egypt near Nag Hammadi in 1946 is one of the major archaeological discoveries of our time. Perhaps the library of a Gnostic community in late antiquity, the codices are a repository of important spiritual materials from throughout the ancient world. Hence a thorough analysis of this new material is indispensable for any proper understanding of the history of religions in this period. The rich documentation which the codices add to early Coptic text material promises to raise to a new precision the historical analysis of that language.This edition presents collotype reproductions in natural size of all folios of the thirteen codices as well as reproductions of the covers and photographs previously taken of fragments that are now lost.

Book Description
This important tool will greatly facilitate research into the relationship of biblical texts and the materials that make up Gnosticism. To date no exhaustive Scripture index to Nag Hammadi has been prepared. One of the significant features of this volume is that it fills this lacuna.

Book Description
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the investigation of the inherent implications of Codices XII and XIII to the Canonical Bible. According to Charles Hedrick, Codex XII was part of one of the groups of codices possessed by the antiquities dealer Phocion J. Tano during 1946 to 48. It was preserved at the Department of Antiquities in 1949, taken to the Coptic Museum on 9 June 1952 and stated national property by court action in 1956, and was given the inventory number 10555 in 1959. In 1949 it had been numbered XII by Jean Doresse and Togo Mina, in 1950 numbered XIII by Henri Charles Puech, since 1958 it was numbered XI by Doresse, and in 1962 was numbered XII by Martin Krause and James M. Robinson. In April 1961 it was preserved in 12 plexiglass containers by Victor Girgis in consultation with Pahor Labib and Martin Krause. Photographs were taken by R. Herzog for Krause at that time, and once more by photographers of the Center of Documentation for UNESCO in 1966. fragments were set and photographs taken at three work sessions during 1970 to 71 under the supervision of the Technical Sub Committee of the International Committee for the Nag Hammadi Codices of the Arab Republic of Egypt and UNESCO. Of all the Nag Hammadi Codices, Codex XII is in the poorest condition of conservation. There are no titles or page numbers remaining, although at least three discourses are depicted. Of the about thirty nine original pages of the Sentences of Sextus (XIl,1) ten survive, of which eight miss parts of the top and bottom lines, but the remaining two (from a separate part of the discourse) have lost the outside half of the leaf. Of the originally twenty nine pages of The Gospel of Truth (XIl, 2) has fragments of only six. Until the two larger remaining fragments {numbers I and 2 on pl. 101 to 102 of the Facsimile publication: Codices XI, XII, XIII) can be connected with a familiar piece of literature, it is impossible to say whether; they depict one or two other discourses (Charles 289). Since the remnants come from different parts of the codex, it is possible that the principal loss was suffered since the discovery in modem times. The initial size of the codex cannot be restored. The estimated initial lengths of the Sentences of Sextus and the Gospel of Truth with the four pages of a third discourse, for which evidence remains, sums up to a minimum of seventy-two pages. The third discourse, nevertheless, was almost certainly longer than four pages.

Book Description
The self-emptying of Christ, proclaimed in the letter to the Philippians 2:7, remains a much-debated topic in modern theology and exegesis. The Interpretation of Kenosis from Origen to Cyril of Alexandria brings the insights of Greek Christianity to the understanding of kenosis to illustrate that new dimensions of the topic open up when it is examined in the historical era of early Christianity. Origen of Alexandria showed that his understanding of kenosis allowed him to resist overly confining understandings of divine immutability, yet retain the conviction that the immutable Word's self-emptying calls the Christian believer to awe and wonder. Gregory of Nyssa found in kenosis a way to emphasize the Son of God's embrace of all of human life, including historical development. Cyril of Alexandria, finally, the term kenosis more than anyone else in Greek-speaking Christianity. It was a theme across all major eras and genres of his writing, from scriptural exegesis to doctrinal disputes, including those about the divinity of the Son and the natural union of the Son with human reality. Cyril found in kenosis an anchor point for two themes: first, that the strangeness and shocking quality of the term kenosis reminds the believer that God's categories always stretch beyond human "who emptied himself?" can only be answered by a single-subject Christology that proclaims the kenosis of the Word. This book opens and closes with chapters relating early Christian teaching on Christ's self-emptying to modern scripture scholarship and to concerns of feminist systematic theology.

Book Description
This Festschrift honors the life and work of John D. Turner (Charles J. Mach University Professor of Classics and History at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln) on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Professor Turner’s work has been of profound importance for the study of the interaction between Greek philosophy and Gnosticism in late antiquity. This volume contains essays by international scholars on a broad range of topics that deal with Sethian, Valentinian and other early Christian thought, as well as with Platonism and Neoplatonism, and offer a variety of perspectives spanning intellectual history, Greek and Coptic philology, and the study of religions.
