		The texts discovered at Nag Hammadi available in the Gnostic Society Library are indexed in alphabetical order, and by their location in the original codices.
		This leaves a small number of scriptures of the Nag Hammadi Library which may be called "unclassifiable." It also must be kept in mind that the passage of time and translation into languages very different from the original have rendered many of these scriptures abstruse in style.
		The most readily comprehensible of the Nag Hammadi scriptures is undoubtedly The Gospel of Thomas, with The Gospel of Philip and the The Gospel of Truth as close seconds in order of easy comprehension.

		Erickson attempts to convince his listeners that the writers of the Nag Hammadi were the true Christians, (based upon his allegation of their similarity to Mormonism) and that all others had slipped off into apostasy.
		However; the Nag Hammadi writings are of "Gnostic" origin which were written during the first to fourth century A.D. The Gnostic heretics did cherish both the Old and New testament Scripture, but re-interpreted them in terms of a mythological Gnostic Redeemer.
		The authors of the Nag Hammadi writings taught a form of re- incarnation, and that marriage was evil, because it is of the earth.

		Nag Hammadi itself is an important agricultural centre with a large cement factory, otherwise only known for its past association with the Gnostic Gospels.
