>>8534429
At the moment I'm reading the Pre-Nicene New Testament by Robert M Price. It's not a book on Gnosticism as such, but it's his translations and notes on early Christian texts/apocrypha/etc, including the scriptures used by Gnostics, Nazoreans, and so on. It's a great book if you want an good understanding of the religious and sectarian millieu that Christianity and Gnosticism existed in during the early centuries AD
