Ebook: The Gnostic Bible: Gnostic Texts of Mystical Wisdom form the Ancient and Medieval Worlds
Author: Willis Barnstone Marvin Meyer
I was very disappointed by this purchase, as it was NOT the Gnostic Bible as advertised. While the product description implies that this item is a copy of the Gnostic Bible, with certain sections being read on the included CDs, the "book" included is little more than a booklet of commentaries, and the CDs, while nicely made, are nothing more than selections from the Gnostic Bible. Had it not been for the fact that I made this purchase expecting to get the book I needed for a seminary class I'm currently taking, I would have almost been happy with my purchase.
However, even if that were the case, and I hadn't been duped into spending money on a product that was not what I needed, I would still be rather disappointed by the fact that much of the desired materials are missing from this work. So, if you are simply looking for something nice and easy to get your feet wet with, feel free to get this "book". If, however, you are a serious student of Gnosticism, or are looking to otherwise add something substantial to your collection, make sure to purchase the right Gnostic Bible (the one with no CDs).
