The Gnostic Gospels/Adam, Eve and the Serpent/The Origins of Satan

An exclusive 3-in-1 edition. "The Gnostic Gospels," first published in 1979, is the now classic study of one of Christianity's earliest sects, as revealed through the Nag Hammadi texts discovered in Egypt in 1945. "Adam, Eve and the Serpent" (1988) recreates the controversies that racked the early Church as it confronted the riddles of sexuality, freedom and sin embodied in the story of Genesis. "The Origin of Satan" (1995) explores how Satan evolved from the Old Testament's mere "Adversary" to the Prince of Darkness we meet in the New Testament.
