Abstract
Roman Christianity had grown in parallel with the Palestinian Jesus-movements. But there was another considerable Jesus-movement that is only too often overlooked by the historians. It had been there from the start of the Jesus-movements. This was Christian Gnosticism . Within the context of early Christianity, this Jesus-movement (or more correctly, Jesus-movements) was of great significance. The texts examined are the Nag Hammadi texts, found in Egypt, the Gospel of Mary and the Gospel of Judas. From these the main constituents of the Gnostic Myth are described: gnosis, The Great Invisible Spirit, Adam and Eve, Gnostic Jesus). These are then situated in the main facets of the same Myth: the search for gnosis, the Gnostic World, Gnostic Salvation and the Departture of Jesus.
