Gospel Book is Preserved For Scholars

 In the last post, there was a discussion surrounding the mysterious obtainment of  the so-called Jung Codex through what I can only imagine were "shady dealings."  Such is the way the world works, I guess, but at least Dr. Jung somehow managed to accumulate the collection and have his named attached to it forever more.  So what is the Jung Codex?

According to a Courier-Journal of Louisville, Kentucky dated November 19, 1953, more details were shared with the public.  According to the article and the statements of Professor Henri-Charles Puech, the Codex contains four texts.  They include:

• Gospel of Truth
• Apocryphal Letter of Jacobus
• Letter to Rheginos
• Treastie in the Free Natures

Professor Puech is mentioned in the article as saying all four works were written by Valentinus himself.  The four works deal with the Christ's ascension, resurrection, and the outline of Valentinus system of belief...interesting.

My plan is to read all four of these works and write up a summary of each over the next few weeks.
