| Summary: | The study of Gnosticism is about to enter upon a new phase. Of this we are confidently assured by those who have had opportunity to examine the documents discovered some thirteen years ago at Nag Hammadi, and to say the least the publication not of one or two only but of no less than forty-three hitherto unknown texts cannot but bring a considerable accession to our knowledge.1 As yet only one has been made available in an edited form,2 although preliminary studies of some others have already appeared in print,3 and from these it is evident that if the new texts provide the answers to some of our problems they will also raise fresh problems for investigation. If we may judge from the example of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it is probable that the publication of these documents will be followed by a steady flow of books and articles for some years to come, and in these circumstances it may be that some useful purpose will now be served by a review of recent studies in this field, if only by indicating the current state of research and the literature at present available. |
