Translated from Coptic.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

Preface to the Translation -- The Thunder: Perfect Mind:� English Translation -- An Introduction to The Thunder: Perfect Mind -- What Kind of Literature is Thunder? -- Degnosticizing Thunder -- Literary Patterns -- Gendering Thunder, Thundering Gender -- Rumbling Cultural and Social Order -- Violence, Subjectivity and Identity -- Poetic Artistry -- Performing Thunder -- Meaning Making of Thunder in Ancient and Contemporary Contexts -- The Thunder: Perfect Mind, Annotated Coptic Text and English Translation.

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.

Translated from Coptic.
