Rmc, thank you for the links. I'll save them for when I'm more awake. There are scrolls held within the Vatican and those are the ones I want to read. Many of the stories within our bibles came from those scrolls, or so I've been told. If only I had the time, energy, and some assurance that I could someday read those scrolls I would be delighted to learn whatever languages are required as well as the history of those languages to better understand terms used on the scrolls.
Early Jewish Writings
Early Christian Writings
Nag Hammadi Library (Do note some of these translations are out of date but they give a good starting point. You can order new translations from your local library).
Just to point out the obvious, there is a lot there. Have fun.
Some points of interest:
"Life of Adam and Eve" is where we get most of the Fall of Satan mythos from and is almost verbatim the Christian interpretation of the Fall.
"2 Enoch" is where most of Christian's Angelogy comes from.
"On the Origin of the World" is an alternative Creation mythos that some Gentile Christians held to.
Quote:
As for what I'd do with it, I'd read and learn of course. Then attempt to share what I learn with others, just as so many others have. I know I wouldn't be the first to walk such a path, but that doesn't matter. And, of course, I certainly wouldn't hope to be the last to do so. For me a large part of the point in learning is being able to share the knowledge with others and help them to learn as well, in return I often find I learn more by teaching than I did when studying because not only do I better memorize what I already know I also learn allot about my peers and fellow scholars.
I'll tell you right now, I do not know any other language other than English and a little bit of Spanish.
