| Summary: | As his ‘theological autobiography’ makes clear, James Robinson (1924–) has been at the forefront not only of ‘Q’ and Historical Jesus research but also of Nag Hammadi publication and controversy (NH). As recently as 2006 he has written on NH, especially the Gospel of Judas. To this huge advance in our knowledge of Christian-Coptic ‘Gnosticism’ he has now added the story of his involvement with the puzzles posed by the Greek and Coptic Bodmer Papyri (BP) and their contribution to other parts of early Christian literature and history, including the New Testament, and, linguistically, the differentiation of Coptic dialects. No one is better qualified to unravel them. |
