A Valentinian Meditation on the Gospel
Translator: Kendrick Grobel
Publisher: Abingdon Press, 1960
About 1945, a jar of forty-eight works were found in a tomb in Egypt. All but one of the works were obtained by the Coptic Museum in Cairo, Egypt. These came to be known as the Nag Hammadi Library. The remaining work was purchased by a Belgian antiquary. It eventually was given to the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. Thus, this papyrus document of five writings became known as the Codex Jung. One of them is The Gospel of Truth. All the writings are of Gnostic origin.
