The Thunder: Perfect Mind: A New Translation and Introduction
Hal Taussig & Jared Calaway & Maia Kotrosits & Celene Lillie & Justin Lasser [Taussig, Hal & Calaway, Jared & Kotrosits, Maia & Lillie, Celene & Lasser, Justin]
This is the first book-length treatment in English of the Nag Hammadi text, The Thunder: Perfect Mind – a poem of “I am” statements that has garnered a strong following in mainstream culture. This book offers a fresh, current translation (with detailed Coptic annotations) and ten chapters of introductory analysis of the text. Approaching the text from socio-historical, literary, and postmodern gender-theoretical frameworks, the editors situate Thunder as an early Christian text - away from the now suspect category of “Gnosticism” - and offer conclusions on its possible ancient meanings, as well as its interpretive possibilities for the present moment.
