About the Nag Hammadi Library Section

The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures. Texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth.
