Revelation of the Unknowable God
Allogenes: Nag Hammadi Codex XI,3Karen L. King  Among the Gnostic treasures uncovered at Nag Hammadi in
1945 is this extraordinary spiritual narrative. In it, a third-century narrator known as Allogenes—the Foreigner—recounts a series of visions and divine revelations. He describes his spiritual
progress: how he overcomes fear and ignorance and ascends into the divine realm as he experiences the transcendent Unknowable God. Karen King, a contributor to The Nag Hammadi Library in English,
provides a new English translation of this work, along with complete original-language Coptic text, introduction, and extensive notes.
