This ancient Gnostic text can be a companion for your own
spiritual quest
The Secret Book of John is the most significant and influential
text of the ancient Gnostic religion. Part of the library of books
found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945, this central myth of
Gnosticism tells the story of how God fell from perfect Oneness to
imprisonment in the material world, and how by knowing our divine
nature and our divine origins that we are one with God we reverse
God s descent and find our salvation.
"The Secret Book of John: The Gnostic Gospel Annotated &
Explained decodes the principal themes, historical foundation, and
spiritual contexts of this challenging yet fundamental Gnostic
teaching. Drawing connections to Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism,
kabbalistic Judaism, and Sufism, Davies focuses on the mythology
and psychology of the Gnostic religious quest. He illuminates the
Gnostics ardent call for self-awareness and introspection, and the
empowering message that divine wholeness will be restored not by
worshiping false gods in an illusory material world but by our
recognition of the inherent divinity within ourselves.
Now you can experience and understand this foundational teaching
even if you have no previous knowledge of Gnosticism. This SkyLight
Illuminations edition presents the most important and valued book
in Gnostic religion with insightful yet unobtrusive commentary. It
provides deeper insight into the understanding that in Gnosticism
the distinction between savior and saved ceases to exist you must
save yourself and in doing so save God.
