THE GNOSTIC SOCIETY LIBRARY

Christian Apocrypha

and Early Christian

Literature

Archive Notes

A wide range of texts - - some showing Gnostic tendancy or influence - -

survived within the Christian tradition outside of the New Testiment

canon. This section of the library offers a large collection of these

documents. Note that texts discovered in the Nag Hammadi collection

are listed in the Nag Hammadi Library section, and are not included

here. Texts of a primarily Gnostic character are cataloged in the Gnostic

Scriptures and Fragments section of the Library

Although this is a fairly comprehensive catalog of texts, several

additional documents not presented here can be found at the Wesley

Center Online Noncanonical Homepage.
