The Luminous Gospels

by Lynn C. Bauman, Ward J. Bauman, Cynthia Bourgeault

The extraordinary discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library and other early Christian documents over the last century has sparked a revolution of understanding. We can now imagine the possibility of moving from the Christian Gospel as dogmatic tradition about Jesus, to the teachings of Jesus as a wisdom tradition. That is truly "good news." These early texts give us another view, one that is luminous with insight. Open these pages and enter a new world of early perennial wisdon. As you enter their world, you are invited into a way of knowing that is essential for receiving the gift of wisdom.

These gospels themselves shine a new understanding of Christ’s role on the planet, but the commentaries give depth and dimension to an understanding that otherwise might be colored by convention. It’s an expensive paperback, but we’ll worth the money and the time.

Cynthia provides much valuable insight and exposition for these texts in her book _The Meaning of Mary Magdalene_ (now available at Audible).
