The Hidden Passion: A Novel of the Gnostic Christ Based on the Nag Hammadi Texts
Laurence Caruana, 2007
http://amzn.com/0978263707
“This is the tale of the Gnostic Christ, based on the ancient sources.
In a compelling narrative, L. Caruana seamlessly weaves over 1500 sayings from the Nag Hammadi texts to recount The Hidden Passion of the Gnostic savior.
Wandering round Galilee, increasingly hailed as the Messiah of the Five Seals, the Gnostic savior preaches divine awakening through compassion.
But he must still contend with Judas, his dark twin, and Magdalene, his promised bride.
At once earthly and spiritual, the Nazarene’s love for these two is finally transfigured into a higher, hidden passion.
Each page of this novel rings with the authentic message of the lost gospels.
By combining numerous narrative fragments from the Nag Hammadi texts, The Hidden Passion makes the Gnostic Gospels come alive.
Complete with a map, diagram and glossary, this novel elucidates the Gnostic worldview in an eloquent , engaging narrative.”
