About this app

Discover the ancient secrets of the Gnostic texts with the Nag Hammadi Library app, now accessible on your Android device. Immerse yourself in the rich history of the twelve leather-bound papyrus codices, discovered in 1945 near the Upper Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi.

Featuring fifty-two primarily Gnostic treatises, as well as three works belonging to the Corpus Hermeticum and a partial translation of Plato's Republic, these manuscripts provide an unparalleled look into the spiritual beliefs of early Christianity. Written in Coptic language, the original codices are housed in the prestigious Coptic Museum in Cairo, Egypt.

With our app, you can easily access these invaluable manuscripts for study and research purposes, bringing the historical significance of the Nag Hammadi library to the palm of your hand.

Very simple 🤗 just what the dr ordered,that's all I wanted... some of the other apps trying to be fancy with all the bells and whistles just get in the way of the experience of what our lord God intended..just a intimate relationship to learn and teach fellow Christian believers..one thing the ads sometimes are a pain in the you know what 😳 ..simplicity is the key..👼

I installed this app with high hopes, but was disappointed. Not only is the format of the documents not ideal, compared to other translations (i.e. no chapter or verse for easy referencing), but the Gospel of Mary is completely missing. I wanted an app like this to be able to read the nag hammadi codex wherever I happened to be and one of the most well-known gospels is missing. 3 stars.

This is the pure Nag Hammadi complete library, untouched, fragments found inside a cave with more than a thousand years of age. There is a lot of translations on the internet, go for it. There is no Gospel of Mary in it, you are completely mistaken.

okay app could use more features. the text is great no wonder why it was hidden from us for so long. I use the app very often but the last couple of weeks or so whenever I click on a book it says webpage not available. Have you all figured out what the problem is and what about a time frame on getting the app back working correctly.
