In 1945, 52 papyrus texts, including gospels & other secret documents, were found concealed in an earthenware jar buried in the Egyptian desert. This book examines these texts & the questions they pose, & shows why Gnosticism was eventually stamped out by the increasingly organised & institutionalised Orthodox Church.
