Eclectic Editions Limited
26 October 2025

Bibles; Agnosticism & atheism

A landmark reference edition designed for libraries and bookstores that wish to offer readers an authoritative anthology of early Christian writings excluded from the biblical canon.

This volume brings together more than thirty Gnostic and apocryphal scriptures once lost, fragmented, or suppressed, now carefully restored in elegant large-print format. Each text is presented with historical introductions and manuscript-inspired illustrations, providing an accessible bridge between scholarship and devotion. Together, these writings illuminate the rich diversity of early Christian thought before institutional doctrine was defined.

Why This Edition Stands Out for Bookstores and Libraries

Comprehensive and Scholarly:

Includes a wide range of primary sources-The Gospels of Mary, Thomas, Philip, Judas, and Truth; Pistis Sophia, Thunder: Perfect Mind, The Sophia of Jesus Christ, and The Apocryphon of John-edited and contextualized for clarity and accuracy.

High Perceived Value:

A large-format printed volume enhanced by digital resources and curated visuals makes this edition both visually striking and academically valuable.

Wide Audience Appeal:

Ideal for scholars, theologians, seminaries, and readers interested in ancient Christianity, mysticism, and comparative religion.

Educational and Cultural Dimension:

Each introduction highlights historical origins, theological nuances, and the enduring influence of these writings on Christian spirituality and Western thought.

Contents and Highlights

The Core Gospels: Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Truth, Gospel of Judas, Apocryphon of John, Gospel of the Egyptians, Sophia of Jesus Christ, and The Second Treatise of the Great Seth. Early testimonies of spiritual revelation, emphasizing self-knowledge, divine wisdom, and the inner kingdom. Appendix I - Esoteric and Poetic Revelations:

Pistis Sophia, Trimorphic Protennoia, The Book of Thomas the Contender, Thunder: Perfect Mind. Visionary works exploring the feminine aspect of divinity, cosmic allegories, and the soul's ascent toward light. Appendix II - Apocryphal Christian Gospels Outside Gnosticism: The Gospel of Peter and The Gospel of Nicodemus. Alternative Passion and Resurrection accounts valuable for understanding early Christian diversity.

Placement PotentialFits naturally within Religion & Spirituality, Early Christianity, Biblical Studies, and Cultural History categories.

Appeals to both general readers drawn to the spiritual origins of Christianity and to academic audiences studying early Christian literature and theology.

Its scholarly rigor, typographic clarity, and multimedia dimension make it an excellent candidate for display tables and curated library collections.

A distinguished edition that restores the suppressed voices of early Christianity, presented with respect, historical depth, and editorial precision-an enduring resource for study, reflection, and cultural preservation.
