Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Kreps’s insightful analysis shows that the dramatic imagery of the Gospel is not merely a sophisticated literary flourish. It articulates a version of divine revelation that appealed to a range of ancient religious thinkers, Jewish and Christian...[A] valuable contribution to the study of the Nag Hammadi corpus and the religious debates of the second century." * The Journal of Religion *
"Anne Starr Kreps presents an important and novel thesis about a path not taken in the history of Christian scripture as a canon and as a concept. This is a captivating, bold, unusually readable, and highly significant work of scholarship." * Eva Mroczek, University of California, Davis *
