The Gnostic Gospels Master Collection: The Rejected Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Truth, Judas, Peter, Philip, Pistis Sophia and More. Includes 22 ... and Gnostic Gospels Bible Collection) Paperback – September 17, 2023

Ok. This book offers so much information in one place your mind just melts. But it is the same fact that so much information is contained that makes this book so wonderful.The author refrains from much analysis of his own that drove me to consider the set from reading his other works. But there are 2 problems.#2 the book contains other books in the set. For someone who is on a strick budget, books are a luxury. It should recognize that you already have a book purchased that is also contained in the encyclopedia. It should then say you already have a book in this set and remove or give a discount. Gospel of Mary Magdalene and Gospel of Thomas are explicit examples. Why must you pay twice for them when they are contained in the larger book.#1 The glaring problem is that his own books to no coincide with each other or book from other authors on vary same subject. This and his other books on lost gospels take actual printed text from the translated actual source. These writings and texts he is using are not interpretations but word for word copies of the official authorized text. But his books differ in these official texts from themselves and other authors. In both his books Gospels of Mary Magdalene and Thomas and this book, the official texts vary both from line to line in both of individual words but of whole sentences. That can't be. These texts must coincide with his other books word for word BUT ALSO with other authors that are using the same very texts in their books. I frankly would like to know why.

If you are like me and a little bit of a need or just like learning it's a good book. Take it for what it is. I love reading everything like this on my spiritual journey. Some say it's not factual but I can argue both sides to anything. So if you are here reading review then go for it !

I love learning about things that have been hidden in history from us over the years

The wisdom here is the water and nutrients that will feed your spirit seed and better understand your divine calling.A seed doesn't fear the dirt nor the darkness, it knows these are the conditions which makes germinate and grow into the mustard tree that will feed thousands.

The book itself is great... large size, easy to read, arranged well. The content... well let's just say I have an issue with some of it. I keep hearing about the Gnostic gospels and the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary so I figured I would get a copy of the Gnostic gospels and see what it says. The Gospel of Thomas is all over the place. It is a word salad. Very little of it makes any sense at all. It is full of these esoteric and mystical phrases and then we are told to figure it out basically... like ending with a sentence of "for those with ears to hear". I find it hard to believe that Jesus would come here to "save" us, to teach us, guide us, show us the path to salvation and paradise... and then leave us cryptic messages. Why not just teach us the truth? Why not just say what we need to know and learn in plain language? This is totally illogical to me and therefore I cannot put much faith in anything here. As for the Gospel of Mary, so much is missing that it is hard to put any faith in that text either. Several pages right before she describes the afterlife and the stations one must pass through being judged and questioned by entities who guard the passage. There is no context for this as the pages are missing. What leads up to this? Who exactly is she referring to? Everyone or a particular person's experience? Is this something Jesus said or what? We do not know because the pages are missing. Now I know why they were passed over for the canonical book. The rest of the content is interesting in and of itself.

Good product, good book!

Good supplement for studying religion

Fake authors and text errors. Notice how it says “users text is empty.” It says this more than once. Apparently Jeremy Payton is not even a real person. That is sus as well. Also I really don’t like the unnecessary huge dimensions of this collection.
