Overview
This volume juxtaposes summarized parallel texts from Nag Hammadi and the Bible. This should enable scholars of Coptic Gnosticism, as well as scholars concerned with early Christian biblical interpretation, to make the comparisons necessary to determine relationships and what dependence, if any, there may be between these two bodies of material. The work should facilitate the discussion concerning the origin, antiquity and relationship of Gnosticism to Christianity. It also contains an extensive bibliography of materials relevant to this topic. The Scripture index should make it possible for the reader to quickly find a desired passage.
