Is the Nag Hammadi Apocalypse of Paul a Valentinian text? Many would say no, few would say yes. The Valentinian Temple brings together all the available evidence to produce a systematic argument in favour of the Apocalypse of Paul’s Valentinian origins. From Valentinus himself to the Gospel of Truth and the Gospel of Philip, this book traces one of the most neglected trajectories in Valentinian Christianity, namely the pursuit of mystical experiences oriented around a heavenly temple. Starting with the divine Name in the fragments of Valentinus, the development of a high-priestly Christology is uncovered across a range of primary sources, culminating in the Gospel of Philip’s temple-based rituals of initiation. The Valentinian Temple argues that it is against this intellectual background that the Apocalypse of Paul ought to be understood. This book will be of interest to experts and students in Gnosticism, Valentinianism, early Christianity, Coptic and biblical literature, and Pauline studies.

In The Crucified Book, Anne Kreps shows how the Gospel of Truth, a second-century text associated with the Christian Platonist Valentinus, and its ideas about the nature of authoritative writing engaged with Greco-Roman culture and cohered with Jewish and Christian ideas about books in antiquity.

Who killed him? That is the question. Julian Augustus, Roman Emperor from 361-363 A. D., initiated reform of the Roman bureaucracy and state religion immediately on assuming office. After dismissing many civil servants, he eliminated Christianity as the state religion, reversing the policy of his two immediate predecessors. Instead, Julian proposed that all religions flourish freely. In parallel to his reforms, Julian attempted to destroy the Persian Empire after centuries of unsuccessful Roman efforts. This novel recounts Julian's reign through the eyes of Oribasius, Julian's trusted physician. At the climax of Julian's successful campaign in Persia, he was assassinated. Who killed Julian? Was it the same conspirators who silenced Apollo's Oracle at Delphi? Was it the Christian hierarchy, angry Roman military officers, laid-off eunuchs, humbled Persians, disaffected Jews, or unemployed Christian educators? They were all affected by Julian and had motive, means and opportunity.
