So, I'm going to order my copy of the Gnostic Gospels soon (A compilation book, not one by one), and I want to know which is the best book? Any recomendations? Maybe a little overview, any author notes in any of the books? Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

You may want to take a look through the Gnostic Society Library. Besides a ridiculous amount online I have always felt that Stephen Hoeller does a great job and the people associated with the Gnostic Society have never left me dissappointed. For me the writers involved have kept a good balance between exegisis and hard scholarship. Texts like these and the kabalah so often are molded into the translator's view. No one is perfect but they probably do the best that can be done.
