Sorry. Religious/explanatory for gnostics.

Well, I've read one Elaine Pagels book on the subject. I liked it. Felt it wasn't too revealing, though.

I have a book by Bently Layton called the "Gnostic Scriptures". Haven't perused it yet. Know anything about it?

Don't mean to hijack the thread just a quick question.

No, sorry I haven't heard of it. I wasn't too impressed with Elaine Pagels either. Not really hijacking if it's in-line with the original question, ask away. I'm looking for more books. Another I have upstairs, which I have yet to crack open is The Gnostic Secret of the Nassenes: The Initiatory Teachings of the Last Supper - Mark H. Gaffney.

Thanks. I've been eyeing a collection of the Nag Hammadi texts at work. However, reason and finances are telling me to read the other 600 books lying around my house before I get into anything else. I'm still trying to work up the time to get into "A History of the Jewish People" which comes recommended by Jay. Thanks for the input.

edit: You might be interested in a reference book called The Other Bible. But it is a collection of texts.

What is Gnosticism? by Karen L. King is a good book.

It's not as simple as the title suggests, it's not an introduction to gnosticism but rather an exploration of what makes a group Gnostic or not, how modern scholars study Gnostic groups etc.
A bit academic, not for light reading, but interesting.

I second Halcyon's recommendation of King's book. It really is excellent. Another great book along those lines is Rethinking "Gnosticism" by Michael Williams.
