A well written translation
23. Dezember 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a clear translation in modern english for those who are interested in gnostic texts. My favorite thing about the book is the author does not attempt to tell you what the passage means, its spiritual significance, or why it should be in the New Testament cannon. He assumes that you are smart enough to understand the material yourself and make up your own mind about it. Because of this it is great as a tool for reasearch or seeking the truth.
An explination of the history of the gnostic texts is given at the beginning that is concise and informative.
Bottom line...well designed book that begs to be read.

FULL OF ERRORS
3. Juli 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Unfortunately, this book is full of errors. I looked up the Biblical references, and 10% of them were wrong, in the sense that a scripture reference was given while quoting a passage from somewhere else in the Bible. I noted several instances of this. From an "author" who makes a business out of public domain books, a little more care should have been taken.
Lumpkin inside the book does say that he has taken the translation of others and put them together for this book, but unfortunately the book's cover says, "A contemporary translation by Joseph Lumpkin." This, in my view, leads one to believe that these translations were carried out by Lumpkin himself. Clearly that cannot be the case, for Lumpkin has noted otherwise inside the book, and Lumpkin is not an academic and has no knowledge of ancient Greek or Coptic. Instead, turn to Elaine Pagels or Bart Ehrman.
