Written for a very specific audience, but if you fit that description, you're golden. I bought it as a gift for a dear friend, and she let out an audible gasp of delight if that tells you anything.

This is an excellent translation and commentary by Jean-Yves Leloup. For those who can read Coptic, the translation is printed back to back with the original Coptic script. Leloup's commentary can only be described as enlightened. He takes each sentence and paragraph and opens it up, bringing richness and meaning to things I might have overlooked. He uses many references to the Canonical texts (our "standard" Bible), to placate critics who denounce gnostic texts as wrong-headed mysticism or somehow un-Christian. Anyone would benifit greatly to see what Christianity was like before it was absorbed by the Roman empire. I highly recommend it.
Thia is a good book for reference concerning the Mary Magdalene discussion. It is well written and has a good bibliography.

Renewed my faith in ways I never dreamt possible. I would highly recommend it for anyone of any faith who is looking for a woman's take on what Christ said, did and taught.
