Summary: Jesus in the Nag Hammadi Writings
Review: From the Publisher:

From the Nag Hammadi texts, Franzmann presents a fascinating and radically different series of portraits of Jesus and the world into which he came. A significant contribution to our understanding of the origins, development and present identity of Christianity.

'The value of this study is the collection of parallels given for the various themes discussed. A person interested, for example, in what these texts have to say about Jesus' earthly origins, his relations with other individuals and groups, the equality of believers with Christ, and many other topics, will find the materials conveniently drawn together here... a good place to start finding one's way through a large range of topics of interest to students of the gnostic movement.'--William R. Schoedel, University of Illinois
