Renowned scholar Hans-Joachim Klimkeit presents the first-ever English translation of Gnostic texts from Asia--a vital discovery that reveals a new expression of Christianity as it blended with the mystical religions of Turkey, China, Persia, and Central Asia. Illustrations.
Editorial : From Library Journal In this work, Klimkeit (history of religion, Univ. of Bonn) makes available for the first time in English a little-known corpus of texts that are extremely important for the study of Manicheanism, a serious rival to early Christianity. Klimkeit, who is German, translates the original mainly Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, and Turkish documents into good English. An introductory chapter sets forth the theological and historical milieu of these "Turfan texts," which are incomplete to fragmentary. Brief introductory comments precede each text, with generous notes following. The translations and notes were obviously made for those not conversant with the religions. This work will appeal to those studying Manicheanism and the Gnostic religions who are not comfortable with the original languages or who want an easily accessible compendium. For specialized collections only.- Eugene O. Bowser, Univ. of Northern Colorado, GreeleyCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information,

Like all of the Seymour Simon books I have seen to date, it is factually correct, well-written, and full of helpful facts and full-color photos to engage children. She has been shipped to Fibble, the circle of Heck reserved for those children who have issues with telling the truth. Beautiful illustrations.. A Most Extraordinary Pursuit had a cunning mystery, colorful characters, exciting moments, and just that little extra something special that makes a book sparkle. Those and some of the meri
