Revelation of the Unknowable God

Among the Gnostic treasures uncovered at Nag Hammadi in 1945 is this extraordinary spiritual narrative. In it a third-century narrator known as Allogenes-the Foreigner-recounts a series of visions and divine revelations. He describes his spiritual progress: how he overcomes fear and ignorance and ascends into the divine realm as he experiences the transcendent Unknowable God. Karen King a contributor to The Nag Hammadi Library in English provides a new English translation of this work along with complete original-language Coptic text introduction and extensive notes.
