Der Same Seths: Hans-Martin Schenkes Kleine Schriften Zu Gnosis, Koptologie Und Neuem Testament: 78 (Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies) - Hardcover

"Hans-Martin Schenke died in 2002. His academic pre-eminence in the areas of Nag Hammadi studies and Coptology were widely recognized, and his writings will continue to be consulted for their insightful perspectives for decades to come. The editors of this volume [...] have done an excellent job in assembling the volume. It is a fitting tribute to the scholarly achievements of Hans-Martin Schenke. While the writings are already in the public domain, it is convenient to have them collected in this single volume." - Paul Foster, in: The Expository Times 124/9 (2013)
"Extremely rich and chronologically arranged collection of essays and reviews (to Schenke a literary form of its own kind) on a great variety of subjects within the three main themes of 'Gnosis', Coptology, and New Testament studies. Excellently edited by a team of well known scholars closely familiar to Schenke's life (1929-2002) and work." - Johannes van Oort, in: Vigiliae Christianae 67 (2013)

His insights and deep understanding of Gnostic beliefs and systems as a background for interpreting the New Testament make his contributions to this discipline very rewarding and indispensable reading.
