Johanna Brankaer provides easy readable translations of the Gospel according to Mary and the Gospel of Judas in the German language. Both translations are accompanied by explicative notes, which deal as well with textual issues as with the theological background of our texts. The single chapters are preceded by short introductions, which deal with the structure of each writing as well as the main characters, especially Jesus, the group of the disciples and the disciples which are set apart: Mary and Judas. The relations between these characters are elucidated in the context of the Gnostic theology of each writing and its relation to the »apostolic« Church.

Das Evangelium nach Maria und Das Evangelium des Judas: Gnostische Blicke auf Jesus und seine Jünger

The setting of Joseph and Aseneth is well known from Genesis: Joseph travels through Egypt collecting grain to ease the great famine to come. At the house of Pentephres, high priest of Heliopolis, he meets Aseneth. Young and beautiful, she rejected all men who asked for her hand in marriage, detesting everybody whom she did not consider as equal. Joseph is the first man whom she is impressed by. But when he refuses her greetings as unsuitable for him, as he bound his life to the God of Israel and she worships Egyptian idols, her world falls apart. Deeply offended, her search for the god of Joseph begins.
