Gospel of Truth

Gospel of Truth is a homily associated with Valentinian Christianity, written in the 2nd century and preserved in Coptic. It belongs to the Gnostic writings grouped among the New Testament apocrypha and was found among the Nag Hammadi texts. The work survives in two Coptic versions: one is almost complete, while the other remains in fragments, so it reads less like a story and more like a theological text.

It will suit readers interested in early Christianity, Gnostic thought, and non-canonical religious writings, especially if they want something historical and idea-driven rather than narrative. What stands out here is the text's role as a witness to a particular religious community and its language of belief. In that sense, it sits alongside other Gnostic works preserved in the Nag Hammadi codices and is best approached as part of that wider body of texts.
