About this audiobook

What if early believers debated the nature of Jesus and salvation so intensely that entire gospels were left on the cutting-room floor—labeled “heretical” but brimming with spiritual insight?

This comprehensive volume gathers the major Gnostic texts: from the riddle-like Gospel of Thomas to esoteric visions like the Apocalypse of Peter and the Revelation of Adam. Updated for modern readers, these works highlight a path of hidden knowledge, cosmic archons, and an emphasis on the divine spark within.

Included Texts:

  • Gospels of Thomas, Philip, Mary, Judas – Alternative views of Christ’s teachings.
  • Authoritative Discourse & Concept of Our Great Power – Reflecting Gnostic liberation theology.
  • Revelations of Paul, Peter, Adam, James – Apocalyptic glimpses of cosmic realms and final destinies.
  • Valentinian & Sethian Treatises – Zostrianos, Allogenes, Marsanes, exploring layered heavens.

What You’ll Discover Inside:

  • A Radical Spiritual Cosmology – Learn about archons, the Demiurge, and the soul’s quest for enlightenment.
  • Alternative Christology – A Savior who guides seekers to inner realization rather than mere dogma.
  • Diverse Christian Expressions – Witness how 2nd–4th century believers grappled with identity, scripture, and community boundaries.
  • Clash with Orthodoxy – Understand why official Church leaders pushed these writings underground.

Open a gateway to mysticism, self-inquiry, and a reimagined Christian story. Encounter a legacy that once rivaled—and still challenges—established tradition.
