| Summary: | Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians 12 of a man, presumed to be himself, caught up into the third heaven, served as an obvious theme for later writers to elaborate. Not surprisingly, we have a widely disseminated and influential Apocalypse of Paul (Visio sancti Pauli) among writings commonly known as the New Testament Apocrypha. Then from 1945 the Nag Hammadi Library revealed another but different apocalypse, numbered Codex V, 2 and also named the Apocalypse of Paul, inspired by the same passage. That Coptic text appeared with an English translation most recently in Brill's reprinted The Coptic Gnostic Library III in 2000. The same English translation appears in The Nag Hammadi Library in English, ed. James M. Robinson (Leiden, 3rd edn., 1988). |
