About this product
Product Information
Valentinus, an Egyptian Christian who traveled to Rome to teach his unique brand of theology, and his followers, the Valentinians, formed one of the largest and most influential sects of Christianity in the second and third centuries. But by the fourth century, their writings had all but disappeared suddenly and mysteriously from the historical record, as the newly consolidated imperial Christian Church condemned as heretical all forms of what has come to be known as Gnosticism. Only in 1945 were their extensive original works finally rediscovered, and the resurrected "Gnostic Gospels" soon rooted themselves in both the scholarly and popular imagination. Valentinian Christianity: Texts and Translations brings together for the first time all the extant texts composed by Valentinus and his followers. With fresh, carefully annotated translations throughout and new transcriptions of the original Greek, Latin, and Coptic on facing pages, Geoffrey S. Smith provides an illuminating, balanced overview of Valentinian Christianity and its formative place in Christian history.

No reputable bookseller would rate this book as in "Very good": that description is flat-out duplicitous. The book is ex-library with the usual stamps throughout (which alone disqualifies it from a "very good" rating; the spine is badly cocked, the front cover hinge is giving out, the ffep has been excised and the dust jacket, though present, is ratty, with the call number sticker on the spine. Fair-to-poor would be the appropriate assesment of the book's condition.

"Very good" is a stretch as a description of the condition of this book, but not outright deceptive. No effort was made in packing to minimize damage from rough handling. Still, a good deal at the price.
