Abstract:

Ancient scriptures, hidden from the world for centuries, have recently attracted unprecented popular attention. Some were found among the ancient library of the Dead Sea Scrolls; others include assorted mystical writings known as Kabbalah, and a host of books that never made it into the Bible, called Apocrypha (which means "hidden") and the Pseudepigrapha (called "false writings" by those who suppressed them). Additionally, there are the Gnostic texts of Nag Hammadi, a location in Egypt where a treasure trove of lost books was discovered in the middle of the twentieth century. Collectively, they comprise the "Lost Bible." For centuries, these manuscripts were systematically suppressed because their messages challenged the authority and pet philosophies of political and religious leaders. Here, Hebrew scholar Hanson uncovers parallels and offers readers an interpretation of these sacred writings, hidden truths that, he feels, can help us reach our fullest potential. The paperback edition includes a new chapter on the Gospel of Judas.--From publisher description.
