The Definitive Translation Of The Gnostic Scriptures In One Volume

BY JAMES ROBINSON
The only complete 1 volume, modern language version of the library of fourth-century manuscripts discovered in Egypt in 1945. First published in 1978, it launched modern Gnostic studies and exposed a movement whose teachings are in many ways as relevant today as they were 16 centuries ago. James Robinson's updated introduction reflects ten years of additional research and editorial and critical work. An afterword by Richard Smith discusses the modern relevance of Gnosticism and its influence on such writers as Voltaire, Blake, Yeats, Kerouac, and Philip K. Dick.

Naming The Powers

The Language Of Power In The New Testament

BY WALTER WINK
For Wink `the Powers' are understood as social forces, religious, moral and political structures (the tyrant, the market, the school, the courts, race, and nation) They make themselves the hand servants of the worst of human emotions and motivations and facilitate actions leading to inequality, injustice and ecological destruction, making such actions appear `logical' and `inevitable,' causing good people to act accordingly, even as they may personally regret the results. This quartet of books names, unmasks and shows how one can engage with these powers producing a powerful new theology of nonviolence.

New Perspectives On The Canterbury Shakers

BY DAVID STARBUCK
"Because the Shakers were a religious group that believed in communal living and celibacy, and because the group was founded in the 18th century, many people have assumed that they were cloistered, rigid or austere . . . But what Starbuck has found suggests that, while they adhered to their principles, their principles may have been different than what most people have commonly believed." - Valley News. From his 25 years of excavating at Canterbury Shaker Village, Starbuck's systematic mapping and inventory program for the entire settlement provide a new, welcome, completely different, and creative interpretation of the Shakers.

From Sacred To Secular Resistance

BY CHARLES MOSKOS

The New Covenant

Commonly Called The New Testament: The Four Gospels And Apocalypse

TRANSLATED BY WILLIS BARNSTONE
In this new translation of the Four Gospels and Revelation (Apocalypse), poet, translator, and scholar Willis Barnstone returns the bedrock of Christianity to its origins as an outgrowth of Judaism. In place of the Greek names that we are accustomed to, he restores probable Hebrew or Aramaic names to New Testament figures. And in translating Apocalypse in blank verse, he reveals it as the great epic poem of the New Testament. Barnstone places the Christian Bible in new perspective, transporting us back to the pre-Hellenic world and the Jewish tradition from which the New Covenant emerged.
