My Top Ten List of Essene, Christian/Ebionite/Gnostic, and Mandaean Scriptures, First Century Through the Eighth Century AD:




1) The Gospel of Thomas (and related collections of the sayings of Jesus like “Q” and the Gospel of the Hebrews),

2) The Gospel of Mary Magdalene,

3) Odes of Solomon (not really by Solomon but a collection of early Christian psalms from the late 1st Century AD),

4) the Psalms by the Teacher of Righteousness in the Dead Sea Scrolls,

5) Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice (related to the Dead Sea Scrolls),

6) Trimorphic Protennoia (from the Nag Hammadi Library),

7) The Canonical Prayerbook of the Mandaeans (from the John the Baptist group),

8)  The Clementine Homilies (a kind of Ebionite book of acts),

9) The Prayer of Thanksgiving (from the Nag Hammadi Library), and…

10) The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life (a collection of writings from the Thomas Christians/Church of the East).
