Abstract "This volume is devoted to the 'counter-readings' of the core Christian story proposed by texts from Nag Hammadi and elsewhere. Its chapters retrace the major elements of the Christian story in sequence, showing how and why each of them was disputed on inner-Christian grounds and reflecting on the different accounts of Christian identity underlying these disputes. Contributors present material that is often difficult and little-known to contribute to ongoing efforts to integrate Nag Hammadi and related literature into the mainstream of New Testament and early Christian studies"-- Provided by publisher.
