Corpus-Paul

["Given, Mark Douglas" <mdg421f AT smsu.edu>]

Just a quick response.

A lot of the primary sources are available online in old but usable
translations.  For example,

http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/

Several titles written, translated, or edited by Bart Ehrman would also
be helpful:

333563-6626234

A couple of very readable classics I like are Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic
Gospels and The Gnostic Paul.
