by James Brantingham (Author)
"Calibrating his work with the research of other Gospel of Philip experts like Andrew Phillip Smith and Jean-Yves Leloup, Brantingham provides an elegant and insightful translation, as well as an apt introduction on the Gospel of Philip and the milieu from which it came. He doesn't go all guns firing and taking liberties, though, calibrating his work with the research of other... Gospel of Philip experts. In the end, Brantingham reveals a universal Christian treatise that goes beyond the niche spiritual tech of Gnosis - one that presents avenues to the renewal of faith and the human condition."Miguel Conner of Aeon Byte
