• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the Gnostic Gospels, focusing on texts like The Gospel of Judas, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and The Gospel of Thomas. These writings, discovered at Nag Hammadi, offer insights into early Christian beliefs and the intimate relationships between Jesus and his disciples.
